Heirloom grown for many generations to provide natural sponge-like scouring pads suitable for scrubbing floors, automobiles, and are even used as shower sponges and for facials. The immature 5-6″ fruits are edible and may be cut up and fried much like okra. Sponges obtained from the mature dried fruits will last for many years. This is a very aggressive vine and should be provided with a sturdy trellis in full sun. Rich green foliage with contrasting bright yellow flowers late into the season make this an attractive ornamental vine to screen off unsightly views.
