In my part of the world, we've had a number of hours of freezing temperatures reaching as low as 16F. Because I don't have a lot daylilies (compared to some folks) and because of my growing methods, I printed my data and took it outside to see

My purchases had 13 evergreens. All of those still have a considerable amount of green fan showing. There are 20 registered as dormant, but two are still showing some green. Not as fully green as the evergreens, but not totally dead foliage either. The big variation was among the semi-evergreens. I purchased 16 registered that way and only three really matched up today. Seven were completely dormant with no green showing and six matched the evergreens I'm growing, leaving only three with green fans somewhere in between dead foliage and quite a bit of green fan. I added the info to my list. It's data like recording bloom dates, I guess. May or may not be useful down the line. At this point in time, the trait is not a consideration on what is purchased.
