Passionflower is a spectacular vine that can reach up to 9 meters in height. It has very beautiful flowers that you have surely seen more than once, as it is often used as an ornamental plant. As it is a vine, it can be planted almost anywhere, from a wall to a tree. It does not need support, as it only grows and climbs with its tendrils. You have to be careful if you do not want it to grow too much, as it is very vigorous.

As a medicinal plant, it has many properties, but it has traditionally been used to strengthen the cardiovascular system, as it reduces blood pressure. It has calming properties, which also makes it useful for sleep problems.
And it has another curious property that is not well known, as it is useful for treating inflammation or minor burns.
