Single-petal narcissus blooms at the end of December, with white corolla, yellow calyx, 6 petals in the perianth, and a golden crown in the middle, shaped like a lamp, with a fragrant scent, hence called "golden lamp jade platform", with a flowering period of about half a month; if the crown is white, the flowers are numerous, and the leaves are slightly thin, then it is called "silver lamp jade platform."

Double-petal narcissus blooms at the beginning of January, with white flowers, 12 petals, rolled into a cluster, with light yellow at the bottom of the corolla and pale white at the top, without a distinct crown, named "centifolia narcissus" or "jade nimble", with a flowering period of about twenty days.

Chinese narcissus needs to be cultivated for 2-3 years to bloom, planted in September-October when autumn comes. 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 bulbs are dug up the next year, with the large bulbs blooming in winter.

When narcissus blooms, it 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 it can be fertilized with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers appropriately once a week, which can extend the flowering period by a week.

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