What kills passionfruit vines?

Its probably not the passionfruit that's growing - it will be suckers from the rootstock the passionfruit was grafted onto. I would allow the suckers to get a bit bigger and then cut them one by one and paint the cut area - IMMEDIATELY - with neat glyphosate, (Roundup or any glyphosate will do).

How do I get my passion flower to bloom?

Passion vines require a spot in full sunlight to thrive and flower. Although a specimen will not die in partial shade, bloom is greatly reduced if a plant does not receive at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily. A south-facing trellis or wall is often ideal for passion vine cultivation.
