Flowers: Passionflower blooms are exotic and striking, with a distinctive structure that includes a central corona (ring) of filaments, sometimes in contrasting colors. The flowers typically have a star-like appearance, with a central stigma surrounded by petals and sepals, often in shades of purple, white, blue, or pink. The complex design of the flower is one of the main reasons passionflowers are so popular in ornamental gardening.

Leaves: The leaves of passionflower are lobed or serrated, and often have a glossy or slightly hairy texture. The foliage is generally a rich green color, though some varieties may have a more silvery or variegated appearance.

Growth Habit: Passionflowers are mostly vining plants or climbers, meaning they can quickly cover fences, trellises, or other vertical structures. Some varieties are also shrubby, and there are even some ground-covering species. These plants can grow vigorously, often reaching heights of 10–30 feet (3–9 meters) or more, depending on the variety.
