Passion flower is known for the substances it contains, such as flavonoids (luteolin, apigenin, orientol, vitexol, saponarol).

Passionflower is traditionally used for its soothing properties and to promote sleep.

Its large, purple and white flowers are formed by five white petals topped by a crown of filaments. To flourish, this plant requires exposure to the sun. The aerial parts are harvested at the time of flowering or when the fruit begins to form.
