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 want a bold focal point.
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.
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.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

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!
