Since dormancy (in the correct sense of the word - temporarily not growing) does not require the foliage to die, your ones that are still green but not actually growing are dormant. It may be that if there is a freeze their foliage would be killed back and then they'd look more like we expect of "dormants". I've wondered, probably here at some point, whether some daylilies get registered evergreen because they are green even though they are actually technically dormant (not growing) in winter.
