8 Varieties Of Peace Lily Plants That Are Great For Growing Indoors

There's no other houseplant that offers a majestic aesthetic like the peace lily (Spathiphyllum). Known for its lush green foliage and pretty white blooms, the peace lily is laid back, low-maintenance, uber-forgiving, and can thrive indoors like a champ — making it perfect for those with and without a green thumb. But, did you know it comes in more than just one type? Beyond the classic peace lily, there's a whole lineup of unique cultivars, each with its own look and personality. 

Whether you're decorating a new a space or refreshing your home, there's a peace lily cultivar that mixes perfectly with your vibe and personality. Some are petite and compact, while others are bold with dramatic foliage or statement heights. From a white marble-colored 'Picasso' peace lily to artistic speckles that resemble a domino, these plants bring a calmer aesthetic to your indoor areas and can brighten up the whole aesthetic.

Peace lilies really are the perfect indoor plants, but even the best methods for watering peace lilies sometimes fail. Just when you think their lives are over after missing a water session or two, peace lilies' droopy leaves quickly bounce back once they get a much-needed drink. With plenty of hacks to help your peace lilies flourish indoors, these are some peace lily variations you should have on your radar.

'Sensation' peace lily

When you want an over-the-top peace lily, the 'Sensation' peace lily is the impressive variation you're looking for. As the largest of the Spathiphyllums, it can reach up to 6 feet tall at maturity and does well in low light. This statement-making plant adds texture to any room with its lush, oversized deep green leaves that grow in a layered formation.

'Picasso' peace lily

The 'Picasso' peace lily is one of the rarer variations of the popular houseplant, featuring variegated cream and deep green leaves and elongated blooms. Each leaf has a different pattern, and despite its ultra-pretty colors, a 'Picasso' is just as easy to care for as its other peace lily siblings. Its growth pattern tends to be more compact than, say, the 'Sensation' peace lily that grows up instead of out.

'Little Angel' peace lily

The 'Little Angel' peace lily is a dwarf, compact version of the peace lily but tends to bloom more often than other variations. It can grow up to 15 inches tall, making it perfect for living room side tables, kitchen countertops, or a bathroom – the best place to put a peace lily to fight indoor mold.

'Domino' peace lily

The 'Domino' peace lily is a marbled variation with a mix of white or cream speckles throughout its green foliage, giving it a more artistic aesthetic than its solid green counterparts. Although it has a unique appearance, a 'Domino' requires the same care as other peace lily varieties and will thrive in medium to bright indirect light. It can grow up to 30 inches tall and wide.

'Mauna Loa' peace lily

The 'Mauna Loa' is one of the most common peace lilies. With a medium stature, 'Mauna Loa' is larger than the 'Little Angel' or 'Domino' varieties, growing up to 3 feet tall. It's a great starter plant that's perfect for offices or a corner of the room you don't know what to do with. Pair it with a matte black or stone-finish planter.

'Bongo Bongo' peace lily

If you're into bold, jungle-like vibes, the 'Bongo Bongo' peace lily is a giant, exotic showstopper that brings drama in the best way possible. It's only slightly smaller than the 'Sensation' peace lily and has a lush, glossy appearance. The blooms last for a while, and their leaves can grow up to 12 inches. Plant it in a woven basket or natural clay pot to play up its jungle-chic aesthetic.

'White Stripe' peace lily

Although it shares the same care instructions as other peace lilies, the aptly named 'White Stripe' peace lily has a unique feature the others don't have — a white linear stripe running along the center of each leaf. It can grow up to 2 feet tall, making it great for tabletops or counters. The white stripe gives this plant a clean, modern look that meshes with minimalist or Scandinavian spaces.

'Piccolino' peace lily

The 'Piccolino' peace lily might be small in stature, but it can bloom almost year-round. As a dwarf, 'Piccolino' stays under 12 inches tall and looks cute on desks or window sills. It's perfect for anyone who wants a petite yet polished plant that delivers all the beauty of a peace lily but in a compact, space-saving package.
