The Peace Lily is a member of the Philodendron family and is a species of rhizomatous herbs native to South America. The spathiphyllum has glossy green leaves produced from many branched rhizome. Flowers, which can be produced at any season, are white with a finger-like knobby spath extending from the base of the showy white spadix. The common name is from the universally acknowledged white flag of truce during battles. While Peace Lilies can tolerate very low light, at such low levels, they probably will not flower. Very easy indoor care.
