yeah, they clone easy, but your best bet is to break off something low and get some root with it.
i've had luck just sticking it in moist dirt in a shaded area.

Incarnata, isn't that the purple one? We have 5-6 different passiflora, they all clone easily. One of them, I think it's the incarnata, keeps popping out shoots many feet from the original vine. You can just dig them up and pot 'em.
Nice....my bro's GF in hooked on tranquilizers , end sleeping pills..ect
hope this will chill her out......!!
but be careful, because they also contain some poisonous stuff (i think) that certain folks may be a little more sensitive too than others. that said, they do sell the crushed flowers in capsules at health places, so i doubt it is extremely dangerous.
also, they contain harmalas (maoi's), and people who take maoi's or other prescrips that interfere with maoi's shouldnt take these.

I've smoked the leaves of passion flower and the affect was a mild buzz. About the same affect as catnip. The flower may be more potent.
Cuttings are the way to go because passion flower seed takes a long time to germinate, sometimes up to 8 weeks.
Even without the flowers this is a nice ornamental plant. Its a vine that grows fast in the shade and is easy to train.
I planted a valerian this spring and its doing well but I haven't harvested any roots yet. It likes moist, rich soil.
From what I've read I'd second MG's comment. Moderate doses of the valerian root can be taken frequently with no ill side affects.

the cuttings can take up to a month to root
but it works pretty good
the vine is pretty tough, and ive propagated p. caerulea at least with green cuttings. something tells me though that like some other vines, a more woody cutting might root better. i did it in water and in media, they both were about the same, just be patient

Sheriff Bart, my P. edulis vine roots easier from really fresh green (non woody) shoots. I'm not sure about the incarnata, because like I said, I just dig up the shoots of that one and pot them up. Most stuff roots easier from softer green shoots, though.
