12 Seeds DOK edible Smooth Luffa Hybrid Seeds; sponge gourd; 絲瓜 muop huong; non-GMO heirloom; a.k.a. Thai/Chinese Okra; Kitazawa Seed #467 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 ½ pound. Growing tips: 1) Do not transplant too early, as young plants could be stunned when overnight temperature below 40F. Here in Chicago Zone 5B, better growth is observed when transplanted after Memorial Day 2) Let the vines climb to chain link fence, cattle panel, arbor, trellis…etc. Best fruit yielding when maximum sun exposure is provided. Allow at least 50-100 sqft aerial space per vine. 3) Once a female flower is found, you can pinch off the rest of the “branch”, to achieve best fruit size, as well as provide “bushy” growth to the main vine. Warm Season Annual Maturity: Approx. 80 days Planting season: Late spring to early summer
