From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2015: PUZZLED (T.Johnson ‘15) TB Midseason-Late 37” (94 cm). Yes, it will always be a puzzle as to what the parentage is since the tag was lost. ‘Puzzled’ is such a unique creation that most people won’t care. Standards are buttery peach with orangish texture veins. Wide and ruffled falls are an interesting irregular maroon wash over light lavender ground blending lighter toward edges. Beards are dark orange. Show stalks have ample buds. Growth is strong and increase abundant. Sdlg. TD81B: Born This Way sib. $55.00.
