I need to find some out door plants that last year round and are easy to maintain that only require partial sun. I live in a fairly warm climate very hot and humid in summer and rarely freezes in winter.
I would like a varity, some that bloom some that vine and some that are just green. short and tall large and small.

You could just go to kinfolks and get slips of plants and root them quick, use a little sand when you root them
Get 3 slips and put them in the ground, most scrubs root fast.
Go to General Dollar stores and pick you up some cheap
flower seeds, 10 packs for a dollar and they grow
big beautiful flowers. Use miracle grow.

If you are looking for trees or shrubs that are evergreen or ornamental, I would suggest the Arbor Day website. I recently became a member of the organization and they offer a good variety of trees for your location (use the 'tree wizard' link) for much less than Lowe's or Home Depot-if you become a member, if not, the prices are comparable.
If you order enough trees, you also get some free things and free shipping. You can also search the tree store for trees by the growth rate. They do offer advice on planting and caring for your trees as well. I believe the deadline for ordering for spring planting is sometime in early April.
Otherwise, I would go with a local professional nursery. Around here, the folks at Lowe's and Home Depot are just kids and aren't knowledgeable enough for me. Professional nurseries are somewhat pricier, but you get better advice and better plants.

The very best in my mind is Hibiscus . Flowers the size of dinnerplates, and colors that range from white, pink, deep red . Many of them grow to about 4 or 5 feet high and about 4 feet wide . Right now, I can visualize your yard's perimeter dotted with Hibiscus that will have the entire neighborhood talkin . How am I so sure ? Because I did it and WOW !! Beautiful flowers, large enough to easily see from a distance and countless neighbors(who I previously did not know) stopping by to ask about the flowers and simply chat !!!
Great Investment, but put them in your sunniest locations for best results .
You may want to intermingle Roses and Climbing Roses, both on your perimeter and within your yard . This will enable you to showcase a variety of colors(more than Hibiscus) and ADD FRAGRANCE !! There are many varieties, tall and short, and I'm sure you'll be ecstatic with the results !!!

I would suggest you visit your local nursery. There are folks there who are familiar with the plants and uses you are looking for your yard. We are in the desert and many of the flowers and vines we love are more common in the midwest and can't tolerate the dry heat so we have looked to our nursery persons for assistance. This time of the year is the perfect time to start planning and planting. Good luck

extra acceptable properties and Gardens internet site, and BBC Gardening, have stated plant profiles. you basically put in the size type (evergreen or deciduous) , top shade and flowers and it provides a itemizing of stated flora. The trick is to study the define of the place the plant grows nicely, eg nicely drained or moist internet site if that sounds like your place positioned it on the lists if no longer provide it a great berth.

I would suggest you contact your county extension service for assistance. Or, visit a local garden center. You have so many to choose from.
Hostas can grow in your light, depending on the variety. They will bloom later in the summer, but give beautiful foilage until then. More sun...black-eyed susans, coneflower, clematis, roses, iris, gladiola, .....jeez, the list goes on and on.
