In 1899, the head gardener at Althorp Park in Northamptonshire, the country seat of Earl Spencer, was Silas Cole. He noticed that the blooms on one plant, a shell-pink bloom named, Prima Donna, were outstandingly different - the petals were curiously frilled. The plant was encouraged to seed and a number of plants flowered the following year retaining the frilly form and colour of the parent plant.

Here a colourful sweet pea array clamber with swirling tendrils into a soporific coral-bed bloom of maroon, purple, violet-blue, flame angelfish-orange and shell-pink wings and keels to calm the soul under the ornamental frilled markings of fluttering pale blue butterflies.
