Single-petal narcissus blooms at the end of December, with white corolla, yellow calyx, 6 petals, a golden crown in the center, shaped like a lamp, with a fragrant scent, hence called "Golden Lamp and Jade Pedestal", with a blooming 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 Pedestal."

Double-petal narcissus blooms in early January, with white flowers, 12 petals, rolled into a cluster with light yellow at the bottom of the corolla and light white at the top, without a distinct crown, named "Hundred-leaved Narcissus" or "Jade玲珑", with a blooming period of about twenty days. The flower shape is not as beautiful as the single-petal variety, and the scent is also poorer, being a variant of narcissus.

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 wither in May, and the bulbous corm enters dormancy in June. During the dormancy period, the bulb undergoes physiological and biochemical activities. After the second year of dormancy, the bulb is 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 has a high demand for nutrients, and applying phosphorus and potassium fertilizer appropriately once a week can extend the blooming period by a week.

When 1 or 2 narcissus flowers are open, remove the bulb, put it in the refrigerator for a few days, and 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 yet.
