Plants are dormant due to freezing temperatures. I've had them switch back and forth daily as the temperature fluctuates in Spring and Fall. (I currently use NRaas Tempest to change the temperature range for Spring and Fall to keep it above freezing, partly because so much gardening in the year is lost to dormant plants.)
I don't think it matters when you plant. When the temperature rises above freezing the plants will continue their life cycle. For a long time in one of my games I noticed that occurred around 5am.
Eventually the plant will die when it's grown all the harvestables it will ever produce and your only option will be to dispose of it. I don't think dormancy affects how many harvestables that will be.
The only way to avoid dormant plants is to grow them indoors using planters, soil rugs, or just on the ground. If you move a dormant plant indoors it should go back to normal the next morning or (supposedly) the next time you load your game.
