I am not sure how many seeds came in a package. My local stores were not carrying this product so I bought it off amazon. Some did germinate. They are a couple inches high right now. I dont know the quality of the product yet besides it will grow. I dont know if it will produce any produce.I posted a pic to show what they look like right now. It took a few weeks for them to get this big. I am not sure how fast they are supposed to grow.

Big mistake ordering these. I reached out to the company twice no reply. I tired 5 seeds at a time to geminate (after watching many youtube videos) I snipped I changed the water daily I did everything according to instructions. No seeds germinated. Not even one. How do you return failed seeds? The company does not care, they will not help at all. Not even return a message inquiring about a return through amazon Horrible mistake ZERO STARS!

These were super fun to grow this summer & produced a TON! If you grow them just make sure you have the room! I planted 3 & each one was over 30ft long & has tons of gourds. I have them om a trellis tunnel that is 5ft wide x 7ft long x 7ft tall. The tunnel is magical! Especially because of all the yellow flowers! Wonderful addition to the garden!

These seeds are from quality genetics; I bought the seeds on August 29th and today on September 23rd I have plants that are about 7 inches tall. The only problem I have was that I wasn't expecting a 100% germination rate so now I have loofa plants growing everywhere!

The seeds arrived on time as promised. The packaging was secure. So far, I planted about 1/2 the seeds and only one plant has sprouted. I actually tilled the soil and planted in hills as directed on the packaging. So far, I have been disappointed. Will post update if they sprout.

I was very doubtful - but we wanted to try something different in the garden this year. I planted the seeds using the same trellis we use for cucumbers in early April (we are in Georgia, US). after our spring cucumbers died off, the loofah really took over. we had lots of flowers - but I didn't see anything happening. This week, I started to see bulges by the single flowers & now i have lots of them. largest so far is around the size of a sharpie marker, with lots of smaller ones coming into their own. Def a late season item - now to just wait and see how they grow and when to harvest. this was a surprise - but a good one. 5 stars for the seed quality
