With its delicate leaves and vibrant flowers, this herbaceous perennial adds a touch of elegance to any landscape.

This distinction becomes evident when examining handcoloured stipple copperplate engravings by Lambert Junior from drawings by Pierre Jean-Francois Turpin in "La Flore Medicale. " These illustrations showcase the unique characteristics that set ground ivy apart from its climbing counterpart. The colour lithographs depicting ground ivy further emphasize its beauty. From bittersweet to bugle and water figwort, these images capture the diverse range of colours found within this versatile plant species. The chromolitho print showcases the intricate details of ground-ivy's structure while highlighting its enchanting allure. Leonhart Fuchs' illustration in De historia provides historical context for ground-ivy's usage throughout time. Known for its medicinal properties, this herb has been utilized for centuries due to its healing qualities.
