Passion flowers, yes, one of the most beautiful flowers in creation and very difficult to grow unless you are tropical.

You havent said why you want the dried leaves. Maybe you can tell us, it would be interesting to know.

For those of you who dont know what the dried leaves are used for, read this:

Medical and entheogenic uses

Passiflora incarnata leaves and roots have a long history of use among Native Americans in North America. Passiflora edulis and a few other species are used in Central and South America. The fresh or dried leaves are used to make an infusion, a tea that is used to treat insomnia, hysteria, and epilepsy, and is also valued for its painkilling properties. [1] It has been found to contain beta-carboline harmala alkaloids which are MAOIs with anti-depressant properties. The flower has only traces of these chemicals, but the leaves and the roots of some species contain more and have been used to enhance the effects of mind-altering drugs.

Passionflower also may be effective for anxiety disorder, but further studies are needed.
