I'm no hemerocallis expert, but your comment on dormant vs evergreen
cultivars for the north brought up an observation on my part. When I
first started buying hemerocallis cultivars, I was worried about the
"evergreen" types. However, I've found virtually no difference in
their performance for me here in Zone 5 (to -25F). I've noticed a
tendency to be a bit slower to enter dormancy in the fall or
eagerness to begin growth in the spring (some nipped leaves if we
have a late frost), but otherwise, I find them virtually
indistinguishable.
