About Tiny Wild Luffa

(Luffa operculata). This micro-sized luffa gourd is one of the most ornamental little vines we’ve seen. If you enjoy growing your own luffa sponges, you will love this super miniature version! The small 2-3 inch fruit can be dried and made into small sponges. A perfect touch in fairy gardens, containers or beds; just provide a trellis or some space to roam as the vines can grow to over 10 feet long! They produce small yellow flowers and oodles of tiny fruit. Note: For external use only. Do not ingest. Wash and dry thoroughly to remove all sap before using as a sponge. Perennial in frost-free zones; grown as an annual elsewhere
