I'm with you, Peony8 - I like the true blue too. Have you tried plumbago (the tropical variety)? It's pricey as an annual, but puts on a great show of blue blooms.

I added spiderwort to my garden this spring. I bought it for the spikey-chartreuse foliage and was delighted with the brilliant blue blooms. Unfortunately, the bloom opens in the morning, when the bed it shady, and fades by afternoon, when the sun hits it.
