A reliable and low-maintenance ground cover, Vinca minor Gertrude Jekyll forms a dense mat of glossy green foliage, dotted with dainty pure white flowers from spring through to autumn. Its trailing stems root as they spread, making it perfect for suppressing weeds under trees, spilling over banks or softening the edges of containers and garden beds.

Thriving in sun or shade, it performs well in a wide range of soil types, provided drainage is good. This hardy evergreen variety is especially suited to low-care areas and adds a fresh, tidy look year-round in New Zealand gardens.
