Common periwinkle 'Gertrude Jekyll' (Vinca minor f. alba 'Gertrude Jekyll') Care Guide. Common periwinkle 'Gertrude Jekyll' is named after the renowned British horticulturist and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll. This hybrid shares the brilliant white five-petaled flowers of its parent, but it is much lower-growing, spreading out in a mat to a height of 10 cm. This plant offers excellent ground. Gertrude Jekyll Periwinkle is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. Because of its spreading habit of growth, it is ideally suited for use as a 'spiller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the edges where it can spill gracefully over the pot.
