From Mid-America Garden catalog, 2007: Don't let the huggable, cheerful nature of HAPPY HUGS mislead you. It is a tough and vigorous grower, producing strong show stalks. Standards are shimmering white with centers lightly brushed yellow. White falls are widely banded medium yellow and hafts are slightly darker yellow. Yellow texture veins around yellow beards become yellow-green as they descend over the falls. Flowers are very full and round. HAPPY HUGS will make a welcome addition to your garden.
