It is mainly grown in greenhouses in East China and North China. Its growing temperature is 18-30°C, and below 12°C it enters a dormant period. It is suitable for growing in well-drained, slightly acidic soil.

Under the influence of light and temperature, the flowers gradually change from deep blue at the beginning of blooming to white. Because the blooming times on the same plant differ, the first flowers to open turn white, while the later ones appear deep purple. The two-colored flowers bloom on the branches together like mandarin ducks, while giving off a rich fragrance.
