Do you know approximately when that period starts and ends? When the new foliage starts to grow at the end of that period does the old foliage start to yellow and die?

Unfortunately no, I suffer from non-observance about the period this occurs. So, that data point isn't recorded. However, I have only noticed within the past couple weeks the older leaves of the fan are beginning to yellow and die. I have removed most of this in a recent cleaning of the fans.

The first sample evergreen appears to not be in that dormant period (I see smaller than mature size leaves in the centre of some of the fans) . On the other hand, the second sample evergreen seems to show that it was dormant at that time (all the leaves look mature size and there do not appear to be any short new leaves in the centre of the fans).

Regarding these photos, please note that they were taken this morning. Also adding that our non-dormancy period, with our unusually milder temperatures this year (marking 81F yesterday), the Daylily's have really kicked into overdrive.

I went back out to look at the second sample, 'Indian Sky' and noted that it does show sign of new growth. Reflected in the below photo.
