Miss Ellen Willmott was a prominent contributor to English horticulture. Her aim was to develop sweet pea varieties characterized by pronounced frills, long stems, and enhanced fragrance. Through her collaboration with Henry Eckford, she played a key role in the introduction of the 'Miss Willmott' sweet pea variety in 1901. This cultivar, noted for its aroma and vivid pink coloration with warm coral undertones, exemplifies her substantial contributions and accomplishments in sweet pea breeding.
