Japanese Day Lilies 
BLUE AND WHITE 
Hardy herbaceous perennials with handsome foliage and lily-like 
flowers borne on graceful spikes. While they prove satisfactory in 
either sun or full shade, they prefer a semi-shaded location. They will 
thrive in poor soil and with very little care. 
BLUE PLANTAIN LILY (Funkia Caerulea). Their broad, massive foliage makes 
them attractive subjects for the border even when not in flower. Blue flowers in sum¬ 
mer borne on spikes 2 feet high. 
FRAGRANT PLANTAIN LILY or WHITE DAY LILY (Funkia Plantaginea). Their 
broad, massive, light green foliage makes them attractive subjects for the border even 
when not in flower. Clusters of large, pure white flowers borne on 2 foot stems in 
August and September. Very fragrant. 
VARIEGATED PLANTAIN LILY. Flowers purplish mauve on 18 inch stems during 
August and September. Foliage green with white margin. Very attractive at all 
times. Popular for borders and the rockery.
