florange,
Well, that is an idea. Seems there is not a lot of help in that area at AHS, but I'am going to research Cold weather dormancy first then look into day-length dormancy. I would have thought they would have been very similar, that may be why they don't separate the two at AHS, I don't know.
Not much so far: I did find something that said dormant daylilies might do better in the south if grown in a little shade and in soil with a higher moisture content, plus (this I really liked) some of them tend to bloom later in the season. I'll keep looking.
Ok, just can't find much, it appears it almost comes down to an experience thing or recommendation list, those seem pretty hard to come by, I did find a few short ones.
This was one of the most informative sites I found on dormant and evergreen daylilies (general info).

I did find that Little Grapette and Happy Returns are recommended for this general area.
