FUNKIA, SPRENG. PLANTAIN LILY, DAY LILY. 

 (LiliacecB.) 



The funkias are grown more for their foliage than for their flowers, and they are 

 very desirable plants to have where foliage effects are wanted. The leaves, when the 

 plants are well grown, are large and they vary in colour from attractive shades of 

 green to bluish, and, in some varieties, are variegated with white or yellow. The 

 flowers while helping to make the plants more effective are not particularly attractive, 

 the best in this respect being FunJcia sub cor data, which, taking everything into 

 consideration, is the most desirable species. The soil for funkias should be rich and 

 of good depth as, to be most effective, the plants should remain in one place for a long 

 tune. A good supply of moisture is also essential. Funkias are usually increased by 

 dividing the clumps.
