42 cultivars

Spathiphyllum, universally known as the Peace Lily, is a resilient and elegant genus of tropical, evergreen aroids celebrated for its adaptable nature and striking blooms. These clumping perennials feature lush, glossy, lance-shaped leaves that arch gracefully from a central crown, with foliage ranging from deep forest green to striking white variegation depending on the variety. They are most recognized for their iconic inflorescences, consisting of a hood-like white spathe surrounding a prominent, textured spadix, which rise elegantly above the foliage. Highly valued for their shade tolerance and air-purifying qualities, Peace Lilies are quintessential houseplants that thrive in indoor containers and interior landscapes. In frost-free climates (Zones 11-12), they also make excellent understory plantings, shaded patio accents, or lush tropical groundcovers, offering year-round texture and bright, long-lasting floral displays. Famously communicative, the Peace Lily will visibly droop when it requires water, making it a reliable and rewarding choice for both beginner and experienced plant parents alike.
