Identify these plants?

Cn anyone help me identify the plants in this picture? And what is the miniature hedging-type plant used for the border? I’m trying to pick low-maintenance plants for evergreen interest in a similar front garden bedding area. Any suggestions?

    I think the low growing one might be this, or something very similar.

    The dark-leaved one looks like a Heuchera and the pale mottled one looks like Brunnera 'Jack Frost'
    Clay soil - Cheshire/Derbyshire border. 

    I play with plants and soil and sometimes it's successful

    The grass is Hakonechloa macra, not evergreen but looks OK until about January, then I cut it back!
    Wirral. Sandy, free draining soil.

    It does seem a strange mix because dark leaved Heucheras need much more sun than the other plants in the border to look their best. All prefer a retentive soil. Not sure about the pompoms Ilex Crenata maybe?
