Lack of dormancy in seedling Narcissus

I wonder if anyone else who grows Narcissus species from seed has
noticed some that don't seem to enter a dormant period. Most of those in
question that I have are in the Bulbocodium section. I don't dry off
bulb seedlings in active growth, but instead keep them with plants
(mostly other seedlings) that are growing through the summer. These
Narcissus grew straight through their first summer, kept going all
through this present year, and are now making new growth. One plant even
flowered last spring as a 2-year-old. I don't know if I should force
them into dormancy in, say, July, or just let them grow as they will.
Advice welcome!
