Hemerocallis 'Happy Returns'
Choose Happy Returns Daylily if you want a tough yellow reblooming border plant that fills space fast. The tradeoff: deer may browse it, and the grassy clump needs cutting back to look tidy after bloom.
Buy This If
You want yellow rebloom without fuss.
You need fast bed fill-in.
You prefer clumps over spreading groundcover.
Skip This If
Deer visit the bed daily.
The site stays wet.
You need winter screening.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
Long bloom and clean clumps give beds a steady yellow rhythm, but this is more of a filler than a focal point.
Growth Rate
A
It fills in quickly, which helps mass plantings close gaps without waiting many seasons.
Maintenance
A-
It needs little beyond removing tired flower stems and cutting foliage back when it declines.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A-
Its compact clumping habit makes it easy to repeat near paths, steps, and bed fronts without taking over.
Screening Value
F
It dies back and stays low, so use it for color rather than privacy or structure.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Happy Returns in groups, not singles, where the repeated yellow bloom can pull a border together. Keep it out of wet pockets and protect it where deer already feed.

Customers Usually Ask

It forms clumps that slowly expand and can be divided when crowded.
Why buy for fall color
See the actual color before you buy it
Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
Fall planting means roots established before winter
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
