Need a little more info here.
Where do you live (what zone)? Do you want color? Is it for the landscaping or a flower garden?
Lots of info needed to give a good answer.

Hi, there are so ,so many,I couldn't even list them.Do what I did, Draw a ruff sketch of your yard,and take it to your local nursery.They have certified nurserymen on hand that will take the time out to actually sit down with you,and show you different plants and options.I kept spending money on the wrong plants,for the wrong areas, and they'd keep on a dyeing! Until I asked at the nursery.You could go to, Home Depot,or Lowe's, but unfortunately,they are on a somewhat timed list of ,"Things to Get Done" . So taking taking the time out to really help you,isn't the top priority of the day.You Know what I mean?Good luck! Try Armstrong Nursery.

In the majority of North American climate zones, the best broadleaf evergreens are hollies, nandinas, and boxwoods.
Needled evergreens are going to be more tolerant of cold. The most common needled evergreens are pines, yews, and junipers.
If you want blooming evergreens, not many are easy. The easiest are abelias (not trully evergreen in most zones; considered semi-evergreen). Azaleas are popular but not easy. Other popular blooming evergreens are rhododendrons and Mountain Laurels but they are even more difficult.
Sorry. Vague question. Vague answer.

For year-round interest try different types of evergreens. They have interesting colors, some have berries, and they attract birds.
