For blue-grey strappy foliage have a look at Dianella ’Cassa Blue’ and Lomandra ’Savanna Blue’ or ’Aussie Blue Grass’. The flannel flower Actinotus ’Starbright’, Goodenia ’Little Luna’ and prostrate emu bush Eremophila ’Kalbarri Carpet’ are options for grey leaves. There are low, weeping cultivars of Acacia cognata like ’Limelight’ with pale, lime leaves or ’Mini Cog’. Myoporum parvifolium ’Purpureum’ is matting with purple flushed leaves. The dianellas ’Rainbow Twist’ and ’Utopia’ have purple-red and grey tones. Maybe for greens and reds some low grevilleas that don’t spread too far like ’Mt Tamboritha’ or ’Fireworks’ or mass-planted smaller kangaroo paws. Mounding dampieras like ’Blue Moon’ and ’Cobalt Mound’ have bright green leaves and deep blue flowers.
