Perennial Sunflower 'Happy Days'
Helianthus ‘Happy Days’ is a dwarf Perennial Sunflower forming an upright foliage mound of dark green leaves. From midsummer to early fall, it produces large, brilliant, double flowers, up to 4 in. across (10 cm), with short golden petals surrounding a prominent, anemone-style, yellow center. Borne on purple, branched stems, the flower heads attract scores of butterflies and hummingbirds. Compact, this Perennial Sunflower is perfect for beds and borders. Excellent for cutting too!
