Chinese narcissus needs to be cultivated for 2-3 years to bloom, planted in September-October when autumn comes. In the second year, the leaves turn yellow in May, and the bulbous corm enters winter dormancy in June, during which the bulb undergoes physiological and biochemical activities. After the second year of dormancy, the bulbs are dug up, with the large bulbs blooming in winter.
