Native to China and a staple vegetable in India, this unusual heirloom is extremely rare in the UK. It really does look like a snake, though as the name suggests it carries a flavour more like a green bean. Grow it vertically for long, straighter harvests. Fabulous in curries, the sweet sticky seed coating that can be used like tomato paste. A show stopping addition to your garden.
Average 10 seeds.

Much easier to grow than people think, soak seeds for 24h before sowing. Sow seeds indoors 2cm deep on their edge and keep at 25-28C. Germination takes up to 21 days. Keep warm and protected until after last frost when they can be planted into their final position.
These plants love heat so will perform best in a polytunnel or greenhouse, the hotter they are, the more they produce. We’ve had over 20 large luffa from one plant in a hot summer! These are efficient climbers so provide adequate support.
