In my experience Sinningia bullata and its hybrids are happily and healthily evergreen when regularly watered.  Their growth becomes sprawling over the years and new tubers can form along the stem but without contacting soil they just look odd.   It's almost always in bloom as well.

Sinningias are typically high-light plants and do have a dormancy period.
For generiads, there are a number of geophytic genera that generally prefer
low light, but they too have a short dormancy. They're well suited for
terrarium culture because many like high humidity.
