Helianthus 'Happy Days'

Common Name: Perennial Sunflower

Very large 3½ -4”, golden yellow blossoms with an anemone-like center and short ray petals are the signature feature of this cheerful sunflower.  Butterflies delight in their sweet nectar from mid through late summer. 

With a habit much like a dahlia, the colorful blossoms are perched atop upright plants with purple, branched stems and green leaves.  'Happy Days' is relatively short for a Helianthus, so it works well in the middle of the flower border.
