Which Passiflora are you after?  I can offer Caerulea or Constance Elliot although I'd be inclined to wait until June to take the cuttings. But if it's Caerulea you are after I've got a spare plant I grew from seed last year.  It's been cut back but if/when it shows any sign of life it's yours if you want it.  :)

To be frank I've only ever grown from seed.  Let's see how the plant from last year fairs and we'll take it from there.  Unless anyone else comes along with a better offer in the meantime.    ;)   ;D
