About this plant
The Peace lily is an elegant houseplant with long lasting white flowers resembling flags or the sails of a ship, which rise above glossy dark green foliage. It's easy to grow, ideal for beginners and a great gift idea. It typically grows to a height/spread of around 50cm, larger ones may be available. It likes humidity, so happy in a bathroom, and prefers a little shade away from direct sunlight.
