I need help understanding how evergreen daylilies grow in mild winter climates.
A continuously growing daylily keeps producing new baby leaves in the centre of its fan. The baby leaves grow longer so that there is a never-ending production of new leaves. The oldest leaves (the ones furthest out on the fan) would age, yellow and die slowly one by one but since the daylily is continuously producing new leaves the fan does not become smaller. The fan does not end up having fewer green mature leaves during the growing season.

Or perhaps an evergreen daylily takes a break and there are periods of time when new baby leaves are not produced and then after a while new baby leaves begin being produced again.

If you grow daylilies in a location with a mild winter climate (disregarding the effects of sudden cold snaps that may kill green leaves) how do your evergreen daylilies grow when there is no cold to affect them?
