30+ Loofha Gourd Seeds, Heirloom, Open-Pollinated, Genuine USA Loofha are an open pollinated, heirloom variety gourd in the cucumber family. Vines are vigorous and can grow up 10 to 12 feet long, so planting near a fence or trellis is recommended. Fruits are light green and cylindrical. They are often grown for use as a natural bath or cleaning sponge, but they're also great for eating! Harvest the gourds at about 2 inches in length for use as a vegetable. Can be used similar to zucchini, and are particularly good in stir-fry. If growing for use as a sponge, allow the gourd to mature on the vine about 90 to 100 days. Harvest and cure. Once the gourd is dried, peel off the skin, remove the seeds, and use the sponge for bathing, washing dishes, or other household cleaning.
