Passionflower is a useful herb to have. Taking it as a tea or tincture to help with relaxation and better sleep.
I make my own passionflower tea from the leaves. I just hang dry the whole branch with leaves in a dark dry place. Cut the leaves when they are dry to the size suitable for one's strainer.
It does help with anxiety, at least for me. And there is plenty to be anxious of these days.
thanks for the tip! i'm going out to restock the tea shelf anyways today, now i have a new flavor to test

Leaves and flowers and it will only my medicinal if it's a native version of Passiflora incarnata. But to harvest:
