You are correct, shady is best. I think they are fairly tolerant of neglect
once established. They will show you when they need water and seem to
recover quickly if forgotten, at least that is what happens here in the
house. When you discover one that is all limp and put it in the sink and
give it a good soaking it springs right back. Good Luck

Thanks for your feedback!

I'm assuming you planted in a predominately shadey area. Can you recall
what it's water requirments were - particularly in the heat of summer?

I am in North San Antonio, lower edge of zone 8. I have had luck
splitting up the plants when they get crowed in the pot and putting some
in the ground. I have had them come back after mild winters. But I have a
deer problem and they didn't come back from that.

We received a Peace Lily last summer and it's doing well as a house
plant, but I was thinking of planting it outside in a shady spot in the
yard. (Cedar Park).

I read online one or two incidences of people planting them outside in
colder climates and having them freeze back in winter, but grow again in
the spring. It seems to me that they could grow decently well in this
area.

Has anyone in this group planted a Peace Lily outside? If so, what was
your experience?
