Bath Loofah Gourd Seeds by Renee’s Garden (Luffa aegyptiaca)

Bath Loofah Gourd (Luffa aegyptiaca) is a vigorous warm-season vine grown for its unique fibrous interior that forms natural bath sponges when mature. The plants produce long cylindrical gourds with smooth green skin and yellow flowers typical of cucurbit vines. When harvested young, the fruits resemble zucchini, but when left to fully mature and dry, the internal fibers form the familiar natural loofah sponge used for bathing and household use.

In garden settings, loofah gourds grow as fast-climbing vines that require strong trellising or vertical support. The vines produce large leaves and numerous gourds throughout the growing season in warm climates. Mature dried gourds can be peeled and cleaned to reveal the fibrous sponge interior commonly used as natural exfoliating bath sponges or eco-friendly cleaning tools.

Bath Loofah Gourds are also known as sponge gourds or luffa gourds and are valued for their practical use as a renewable natural product. Seeds from this listing are supplied by Renee’s Garden. This listing is for seed packets only and does not include live plants.
