Showcasing the large, gracefully ruffled and waved petals that exhibition Spencers are prized for, this variety features a dazzling, solid orange-red hue. True to its bright scarlet and orange genetics, it has a wonderfully subtle, mild fragrance, making it a spectacular and eye-catching choice for vibrant summer borders and cheerful cut flower arrangements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowth Habit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExhibiting the standard robust vigor of the summer-flowering Spencer varieties, 'Happy Birthday' is a tall-climbing vine. It requires a sturdy vertical support system, such as a tall trellis, netting, or bamboo teepees, to ascend properly toward the sun throughout its growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCultivation Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo coax the most impressive, heavily frilled blooms from this vine, plant it in a sunny location with deeply enriched, well-draining soil. Because of its tall climbing habit, the stems should be tied in regularly to ensure the plant remains secure against its supports. Consistent harvesting and the diligent removal of faded blossoms are absolutely essential to prevent the plant from setting seed, thereby guaranteeing a continuous, uninterrupted flush of bright orange-red flowers all summer long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis vibrantly colored cultivar was officially introduced to commerce in 2003. The botanical registries associate its breeding and introduction with the breeders Brewer and Matthewman, and it is also noted in the botanical archives as being synonymous with the variety name 'Omay'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Garden\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrown For:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cheerful and bright cut flower arrangements, exhibition showing, and adding a fiery, saturated orange-red anchor to summer displays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompanion Planting\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo make its bright orange-red petals truly pop, pair it with crisp, pure whites like 'Wild Swan' or 'White Ensign'.
