Gourd Seeds - Dok - Hybrid.Luffa cylindrica. 80-90 days. NonGMO. Warm season annual. Also known as edible luffa, this early maturing, vigorous hybrid is high yielding, has lateral branches and is disease tolerant. Green fruit grows to 1.25" x 11" and can weigh 1/2 pound. Prepare fertile, well drained soil. Sow seeds in spring/early summer after last frost in a warm, sunny location. The seed coat is hard and should be soaked in warm water for 24 hours or gently clip the seed tip to help the seed germinate. Hill planting: Form soil into a 1-ft. diameter mound 3-4' tall. Space mounds 4-6' apart. On each mound plant 1-2 seeds. Row planting: See spacing info in chart. Keep soil moist. Fertilize as needed. Hand pollination may be necessary. Train to climb a vertical support for better air circulation, straighter fruit and ease of harvest. To process for luffa sponges, allow gourds to hang on the vine until they are fully mature and the skin hardens/dries. Remove skin and seeds. Prepare young tender gourds as you would squash. Especially delicious stir-fried with chicken. Approximately 140 seeds/ounce.
