Description
Latin Name: Luffa aegyptiaca. Days to Maturity: 130. About the Plant: A natural dishcloth, and a most admirable one. Many people prefer this as a dishcloth. The fruit grows about 2 feet, and the vine is very ornamental, producing clusters of yellow blossoms, in pleasing contrast with the silvery-shaded, dark green foliage. In the North, this variety requires starting in a hotbed. Tasty cooked like okra when young.
