Or Spirea "Goldflame". Stays small, vivid pinky/red leaves in spring, turning yellowy later (does rather clash with the pink flowers but you can always cut them off!) and autumn colouring. Not an evergreen though.
I've just remembered Nandina domestica (heavenly bamboo). Again very slow growing, interesting leaves, white flowers, red berries which remain all winter.
Fuchsias don't start flowering until well on in the summer, and mine usually still have a few in December. You can get them in a wide range of colours, and what I love about them is that they never need deadheading, the fading flowers drop of their own accord, so they don't look messy.
