Betty, Cindy is correct about anything is possible. If you cross two daylilies they both will have five generations of genes to deal with so any foliage is possible. I would think if you cross to dormants the odd of getting dormant seedlings would be greater than crossing two evergreens but there's no guarantee. Here the simi evergreens will have 4-5 inches of foliage all winter, the dormants will have 1-2 inches of foliage, or if a hard dormant will go completely underground(Zone 8-9). I said on the other site that several of the big guys in Florida register everything simi evergreen every year, now how is that possible? I would think out of the thousands of seedlings grown down there, most would be evergreens. Most dormants do not do well here so I can understand them not registering many dormants, but to never register an evergreen, whats that about? Just asking.
