A peace lily is what florists send to a funeral home, and the reason is practical: it lives in dim rooms, it tells you when it is thirsty by drooping and perks back up within an hour of water, and it blooms white spathes a few times a year. Costa Farms ships it from their nursery in a decorative pot, and it arrives as a full plant rather than a cutting.
It suits a sympathy gift for a household, a coworker going home after surgery, or new homeowners with a dark corner to fill. Unlike flowers it does not die in a week, and unlike most houseplants it survives people who forget about it.
It arrives about 15 to 20 inches tall in a pot with a drainage insert, ready to set down. Keep it out of direct sun and away from cats and dogs, since the leaves are mildly toxic if chewed. It is worth the price over a supermarket plant because it ships healthy and rooted, not shocked.
