I wonder if others have this helianthus. It goes by the name "Happy Days".

In our garden it is a superb plant.

- incredibly floriferous for a good 4 weeks.
- not a spec of mildew or anything similar on the foliage
- extra sturdy

Right now it is in too tight quarters and I do plan to move it to a more prominent location this Fall after it has finished flowering.

Here it is today...with its best still to come.

I trimmed it back I thought a fair amount in late June or early July to limit its height but even so this plant right now is 4 feet tall and over 3 feet in width. (I have no doubt it could be 6 feet tall if I let it!)
