February orchid has strong adaptability, and can grow from Northeast China and North China to East China and Central China. In winter, if it encounters wind, frost, rain, or snow, the leaves will suffer varying degrees of freeze damage, but in early spring it will sprout new leaves, bloom, and set seed.
February orchid produces small purple flowers that open successively from bottom to top, blooming continuously from February to May or June. Especially when planted in groups, it looks like a sea of blue-purple. Planted by a riverbank or a seawall, the green leaves, sea of flowers, blue sky, and seawater interweave, making a very spectacular sight.
February orchid has strong reproductive ability, and once sown it can form its own colony. Each year from May to June it sets seed, letting it fall into the soil on its own, and in September small tender seedlings emerge, blooming and setting seed the next year, continuing year after year. Of course, at home you can choose a wider flower pot and plant it in mass for a better ornamental effect.
