The term is usually referring to outdoor plants (trees, shrubs, perennials, etc.) Examples of plants that hold their foliage throughout the year would include conifer trees such as firs and spruces
In more mild climates, broadleaf evergreens are common, such as Magnolia, Rhododendrons, Laurels and Ilex (Hollies)
Since these plants continue to transpire throughout the winter, it's important to ensure they have adequate ground moisture, even (especially) during cold spells. Gardeners may use anti-desiccant sprays to help prevent the foliage from becoming "burned" (i.e., desiccated) during extended cold and dry periods.
