Similar in appearance and habit to zuchini squash. The young fruits may be eaten as a vegetable. These are cylindrical and may grow to 24 inches long or more. When they are matured on the vine and then dried these become the luffa sponges or scrubbers sold in many stores. These are easily trained to grow on virtually any surface and are useful as a landscape screen. Packet(Standard): $3.50; 1/8 oz: $4.50; 1/4 oz: $8.50; 1/2 oz: $16.00; 1 oz: $30.00 - 2,100 seeds/oz
