I think all plants can adapt to their climate to some degree, but I also think you might be asking a question that was not readily seen in your post.
You mention "Blooming Habits" of evergreen verses Semi-evergreen verses dormant? Were you referring to "foliage habit" or more specifically "hardiness" of the plants. There is some question as to usefulness of those descriptions as they relate to hardiness.
"Can they to some degree adapt their cultivar inclination?" Well plants that are Evergreen in Florida may very well behave as dormant in your area, and in some cases may be just as hardy as any dormant in your garden.

Is this post relevant to what you were asking? Sorry if I did not understand the questions.
