Harvesting and processing: The flowering period typically begins in early November. From bud to full bloom, and from bloom to withering, each stage takes approximately 24 hours. Therefore, it's crucial to pick the flowers on the day they open and cut them off immediately. The red style and stigma of the pistil must be carefully removed and dried on the same day. Drying is best done using an electric oven at a temperature of 40–50°C. On average, about 90 flowers yield 1 gram of dried stigma. Once processed, the herbs should be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain their quality. For a 667-square-meter area, you can expect to harvest around 1 kilogram of dried flowers.
