Hi Isabella,
Is it possible that what is falling is the fruit and not the buds? Maybe it's too warm where you have it located? Take a look here.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

Blue passionflower does better overwintered in a cool greenhouse where it can go semi-dormant as opposed to in a hothouse where it will be tempted to put too much energy into weak off-season growth. In either case, it is important to keep the soil on the dry side in the winter.

Can anyone tell me why all the buds on my passion flower are falling?
I have it in a spot where it gets bright light & I'm not over/under watering it.
