Narcissus is one of the top ten famous flowers in China. Its growth characteristics include growing in autumn, blooming in winter, and dormant in summer. It blooms during the Spring Festival.

Single-petal narcissus blooms at the end of December, with white corolla, yellow calyx, six petals, and a golden crown in the center, shaped like a lamp. The flowers have a fresh scent and are called "Golden Lamp and Jade Platform," with a flowering period of about half a month. If the crown is white, with more flowers and slightly thinner leaves, it is called "Silver Lamp and Jade Platform."

Double-petal narcissus blooms at the beginning of January, with white flowers, 12 petals rolled into a cluster. The lower part of the corolla is light yellow and the upper part is light white, without a distinct crown, named "Hundred-leaf Narcissus" or "Jade玲珑," with a flowering period of about 20 days. The flower shape is not as beautiful as the single-petal variety, and the fragrance is also poorer, making it a variant of the narcissus.

Chinese narcissus requires 2-3 years of cultivation to bloom. It is planted in September-October when autumn arrives. The leaves wither in May of the following year, and the bulbs enter dormancy in June. During the dormant period, the bulbs undergo physiological and biochemical activities. After entering dormancy the next year, the bulbs are dug up, and the large bulbs bloom in winter.
【Two, Methods to Extend the Blooming Period of Narcissus】

When narcissus flowers, they can be placed in a well-ventilated environment, away from high-temperature radiators, and avoid direct sunlight. During the bud growth stage, narcissus requires a lot of nutrients, and applying some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers once a week can extend the flowering period by a week.

When 1-2 narcissus flowers open, remove the bulb, place it in the refrigerator for a few days, then take it out and put it back in the pot. This effectively extends the blooming period. Additionally, you can sprinkle salt in the flower pot, but be careful not to do so when the flower buds have not opened.
