Single-petal narcissus blooms at the end of December, with white corolla, yellow calyx, 6 petals, a golden crown in the middle, shaped like a lamp, and the flowers have a sweet fragrance, hence 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 in early January, with white flowers, 12 petals, rolled into a cluster of flowers, light yellow at the bottom of the corolla and淡 white at the top, without a distinct crown, named "Hundred Petal Narcissus" or "Jade Refined", with a flowering period of about twenty days. The flower shape is not as beautiful as that of single-petal narcissus, and the fragrance is also poorer, which is a variety of narcissus.

Chinese narcissus can bloom after being cultivated for 2-3 years. In autumn, it is cultivated in September and October. The leaves wither in May of the following year, and in June, the bulb enters hibernation in the shape of a bulb. During the dormant period, the bulb undergoes physiological and biochemical activities. After entering hibernation the following year, the bulb is dug up, and the large bulb blooms in winter.
【Ⅱ. Methods to extend the flowering period of narcissus】
What season does narcissus bloom?

When narcissus is blooming, it can be placed in a well-ventilated environment, away from high-temperature radiators, and avoid direct sunlight. When narcissus is in the bud growth stage, it requires a lot of nutrients, and it can be fertilized with some phosphorus and potassium fertilizers every week, which can extend the flowering period by a week.

When 1 or 2 narcissus flowers are open, remove the bulb, put it in the refrigerator, and take it out after a few days and put it back in the pot. This can effectively extend the flowering period. In addition, you can sprinkle salt in the flower pot, but be careful not to sprinkle salt when the flower bud has not opened.
【Ⅲ. Reasons why narcissus does not bloom】

If you buy poor-quality bulbs, these bulbs need to be cultivated for several years before they can bloom. Also, if the indoor temperature is too high, there is insufficient sunlight, the environment is dry, the water is not changed frequently, or the bulb is injured during water change, it will affect flowering.

Improper hydroponics. Narcissus generally starts to grow after the Frost's Descent and is in a dormant state throughout the summer before the Frost's Descent. If the bulbs are hydroponically cultivated before the Frost's Descent or after Qingming, the bulbs cannot grow normally, resulting in blind flowers.
<Conclusion>
Narcissus blooms in winter. If you want to make narcissus bloom well, you must choose high-quality bulbs that are over three years old. It is best to water with rainwater or pond water.
