Soil here is quite heavy but it does okay in a dry sunny spot. Currently in a pot of multi purpose as it is moving when the soil dries out a bit I'll PM you.
I'm using quite a bit of blue foliage in my new front border - I've recently planted Daniella caerulea Casa Blue and am very pleased with it so far. It provides a different texture to a lot of the blue-leaved plants.
Other blue foliaged plants I've planted there are Rosa glauca, Hosta Hadspen's Blue and Sedum Spectabile 'Abbeydore' which has lovely blue/grey/green foliage.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
What about blue fescue or blue holly - ilex meserveae or euphorbia rigida? Lots of blue in various forms of eryngium. Carex flacca Blue Zinger and carex laxiculmis and agaves would probably do well in your mild climate and there are any number of hostas big and small with and without variegation.

Another blue carex - http://www.plant-world-seeds.com/store/view_seed_item/1670?actionName=view_all_seed&itemname=CAREX+CHATHAMICA&page=53 and they have another called trifida.
I Wonder if they're as hardy as their bronze cousins cos if so, they'll do for me.
Or Dianthus-pinks if they haven't already been mentioned?
