Passionflora edulis
Passionflower is a creeping perennial vine with white blue or purple-
tinged flowers and orange berries that grows to a height of up to
30 ft (9 m). First known by Native Americans and the Aztecs of Mexico
as a sedative, passionflower has been a popular folk remedy for
centuries in Europe and North America.
Researchers have been unable to identify the herb's active ingredients.
Attention has focused on flavonoids (medicinal passionflower contains
up to 2.5% of these chemicals); maltol; and harmala alkaloids such as
Passiflorine, harman, harmine, harmaline, and harmalol.
The seeds offered here are strictly for horticultural use.
