I'm on London clay and mine does really well, I have underplanted with daffodils for spring colour and the leaves die down as the geranium flowers take over
I agree with others about Geranium macrorrhizum and the variety of this I like best is 'Bevans var.' which is a purple shade. It is semi evergreen and already despite the freezing weather has leafed out.
Incidentally, I am using these plants to inhibit the growth of the dreaded weed 'field horsetail' with which part of my garden is infested and so far I am impressed with the result..
I also like Helianthemum's, which are evergreen. 'The Bride' is especially nice I think...

Vinca major, is great in any situation
Vinca goes mad here but spoils it by getting rust (or something that looks like rust) just when I need it most.

That's nice salino. How hardy do you find helianthemums? I seem to lose them during winter after a year or two
