Suggestions needed for continuous blooming blue perennial?

I am trying to create an illuson of a blue stream of water by using plants transversing and decending a hillside. I had seen this technique used with bulbs such as grape hyacinth but will need a plant that is perennial drought tolerant and will grow in zone 10 with full sun and a western exposure.Thanks in advance.

    Agapanthus?

    Or use a plant with silvery-blue foliage

    Here are a few more for you to consider assuming that they will thrive in your climate zone;-

    Rosemary;- An aromatic evergreen culinary herb. I would suggest creeping or prostrate varieties.
    China Aster;- Blooms in late summer to fall. Flowers are also great for cutting.
    Tropical Salvia;- It produces spikes of flowers from spring through fall which really attract the
    hummingbirds attention.

    Would blue plumago do well in your area? It does great here in coastal Texas. They also have a white variety.

    I just came back from vacation in San Diego, and the hillsides are a solid mass of blue - Texas bluebonnets - just STUNNING! Would these work for you?
