Jonquil usually blooms in December, sometimes later, probably in January. The whole flowering time is very long, usually until April-May in spring. If you want better flowering, you need to give it some potassium dihydrogen phosphate, and also fully ensure the light, the best light for about 8 hours, and do a good job of pruning.
