Its roots can penetrate up to 60 cm into the depth of the soil and it blooms from May to September. The ancient Germanic tribes, the Celts, and also the Romans associated it with the underworld, but likewise it was also associated with spring and fertility, recalling the story of Persephone, who dwells in the underworld for six months of the year and acts as the goddess of fertility for six months of the year.
Iridoid glycosides, such as aucubin, catalpol, asperuloside, mucilages, tannins, silicic acid and saponin are found in ribwort.
