From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2010: SKIRT ALERT (T.Johnson ‘10) TB Midseason-Late 35” (89cm). You'll say ooh la la once you've seen these super wide and ruffled skirts. Ruffled stark white standards are neatly edged yellow gilt. Palest violet white falls have wide, yellow gold ruffled bands turning more translucent toward edges. Bright tangerine over white beards add a fun accent. Flowers are considerably darker upon first opening. Stalks have 2 branches and 7-8 buds. Very different with an interesting parentage. Sdlg.!
