Description
Gertrude Jekyll is a variety of Vinca minor that has small ever greenleaves with lots of small, single star like white flowers which is more compact with its growth than some of the other Lessers. Makes a lovely ground cover and is ideal for covering banks (that can be difficult to mow!) and looks good all year round, even when it isn't flowering. Quick to establish (but you need to keep the area weed free while it does so).
Easy to grow and look after with great results, what could be better!
