Daylily Piano Man (Hemerocallis)

Hemerocallis 'Piano Man' is a captivating daylily that delivers a showstopping performance in any garden. Its creamy, pale yellow petals, elegantly ruffled at the edges, are highlighted by a bold, deep burgundy eye and a glowing green throat. This unique contrast makes 'Piano Man' an unforgettable centrepiece for borders, cottage gardens, or even container displays.

Reaching a height of 50-60 cm, this compact yet impactful daylily produces multiple blooms on sturdy stems, making it a reliable performer in UK gardens. The arching, strap-like green foliage provides a neat and textural base that complements the vibrant blooms, keeping your garden attractive even when the plant isn’t flowering. 'Piano Man' typically blooms in midsummer, offering weeks of colour during the height of the growing season.

Unique Features
What sets ‘Piano Man’ apart is not only its dramatic, painterly flowers but also its adaptability. This variety thrives in a wide range of soils, provided they are well-drained, and performs well in both full sun and light shade. Its compact size makes it perfect for smaller gardens or adding a pop of colour to patio pots.

A little-known detail about 'Piano Man' is its ability to rebloom under favourable conditions, extending its flowering period and adding even more value to your garden. Additionally, it is highly resistant to pests and diseases, making it an easy-care choice for gardeners seeking beauty without the fuss.
