Luffa Seeds - Green Brown

Green Brown luffa seeds produce vigorous, warm-season vining plants grown as annuals. Plants develop long, climbing vines that require trellising, fencing, or other vertical support for healthy growth and airflow. Luffa grows best in warm climates with a long growing season and consistent sunlight. This type is suitable for garden beds and open planting areas where ample space is available. Plants adapt well to fertile, well-drained soil and benefit from regular watering throughout the growing season.
