Vinca minor 'Gertrude Jekyll' is a beautiful and reliable evergreen ground cover plant, prized for its profusion of pure white, star-shaped flowers set against glossy, dark green foliage. This award-winning variety (RHS Award of Garden Merit) is one of the finest white-flowered periwinkles available, forming a dense, weed-suppressing carpet that thrives in a wide range of conditions, including shaded areas where many other plants struggle.


Once established, this hardy periwinkle requires very little maintenance, spreading steadily to clothe bare ground, banks, and borders with attractive evergreen cover. It is perfect for underplanting beneath trees and shrubs, filling gaps in mixed borders, or trailing over walls and containers.


Key Features:

  • Pure white, star-shaped flowers from spring into early summer

  • Glossy, dark green evergreen foliage providing year-round interest

  • Excellent ground cover – suppresses weeds once established

  • Thrives in sun, partial shade, or full shade

  • Low maintenance and drought tolerant once established

  • Ideal for underplanting, banks, borders, and containers

  • Supplied as a 17cm root-ball, ready for planting

Planting and Care:

Plant in any reasonable garden soil, spacing approximately 30–45 cm apart for effective ground cover. Water well after planting and during dry spells until established. Once settled in, Vinca minor is remarkably low maintenance. A light trim after flowering helps maintain a neat, compact habit and can encourage a second flush of blooms. Apply a general-purpose feed in spring to encourage healthy growth.

Very strong perfumed scent
I wanted to love this soap as it sounds like it has a lot of skin loving ingredients, however when I opened the packaging I was immediately disappointed that there was a strong perfumed scent in the soap. I have extremely sensitive skin that flares up easily if I use scented products so unfortunately I didn’t try this soap because of the smell. I took off 3 stars due to the strong smell. If you like perfumed soaps this most likely won’t be an issue. It’s a decent sized bar so that’s definitely a positive note but because of the scent I was afraid to try it. If they make an unscented version of this soap I may give it a try as this one was a no go for me.

Can't beat the 8 ounce sprays.
Size: 16 Ounce (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Fantastic product. The scent is great, and the sun protection excellent. But the best thing is the fact that each of the two sprays contain 8 ounces of product for a total of 16 ounces at a very reasonable price.
