Hello! My name’s Lily. My latin name is quite a mouthful - the Spathiphyllum vivaldi if you’re interested - so most people call me the peace lily or white sails plant. I’m prized for my delicately beautiful white flowers, which, unusually, bloom all year round. While I might be a common houseplant, no other is quite as stylish as me, and I’ve been admired and loved as an indoor plant for over 50 years.
These days I’m found all over the world but I was originally discovered by Gustav Wallis in the tropical Columbian rainforests. I was brought to Europe in the 1820s and then later to the UK in the 1870s and I’m part of the Arum genus of flowering plants - a family of over 4,000 species. I’ve got one hell of a lot of brothers and sisters.
Use my tropical foliage and striking white flowers to decorate your home or give me to a friend who’s a budding plant parent. My white flowers will be sure to spark joy and happiness in equal measures.
