My luffa's are doing amazingly so far. I didn't do a soak or trim the seeds at all and I believe that 3 out of the 6 seeds I planted have sprouted with beautiful large cotyledons and I don't doubt that the rest will sprout! I have kept them outside in seed starting trays the entire time and they are doing wonderfully! I did plant them quite late considering i'm in Minnesota so I don't have too much hope of actually harvesting a lot of the dried luffa this season haha

so excited to get them. I had good luck last year with them.

Only got 8 seeds from the approximated 20 in the packet. Only 4 germinated.

Such a wonderful resource, I'm excited to grow and share these this season!! So many seeds in the seed packet!

Third year growing these last year - first time using MIGardener seeds... I experimented starting 3 seeds in Jan and 3 seeds in Feb (indoors) and all 6 grew! I can't stand to throw out a growing plant, so I gave a few away and I grew 4 of them... Wow! They did fantastic! Luffa can be tricky to get going but once they do, watch out! I will grow them just for the pollinators who absolutely love the yellow flowers. Such a fun, beautiful and eye-catching vine to grow.
