Hi Hopeful - Geranium sanguineum is a correct name, but it isn't blue. More of a purply/pink. There is a cultivar called Shepherd's Warning which is pink and a white one called 'Album'. there are a huge number of very hardy Geraniums if you like perennial gardening. But All Pelargoniums are more or less tender. The people over at Perennials will know all about them. There is also a Geraniums Forum but it's a bit slow. If you just Google hardy Geraniums you will find huge numbers of species and cultivars suitable for your outdoor garden year round. Here is a link that might be useful: Geraniums

There are several silvery/mottled Asarums. PDN likely have a few that would make it in your zone (I intend to get A. splendens myself...someday, lol). Should do fine in dryish conditions. Might look too similar to Heuchera, but Tellima grandiflora 'Forest Frost' is perfect for dry shade and much easier to grow. I don't have that cultivar, but LOVE the species. There are some Polygonatums with silver. 'Silver Striped Selections' (rather $$ I imagine) and I think silver-burnished 'Silver Wings'. Actaea pachypoda 'Misty Blue' has silvery-ish foliage. Wasn't all impressed with it at the nursery, but it would likely look much nicer in an actual garden setting. Probably not what you were looking for since they go summer dormant, but Cyclamen herifolium and coum can have nice silver/mottled foliage. Don't grow this myself but...Leucosceptrum 'Silver Angel'. Does best in moist soil, but I have heard some grow these in dryish areas okay. CMK This post was edited by christinmk on Thu, Feb 28, 13 at 15:19

Your gold hosta is almost certainly August Moon, and the baby hosta might or might not be Whirlwind. It is very difficult to confirm an identification based on a juvenile plant, and there are a number of other varieties that would look like this as a juvenile plant. The baby does look like Whirlwind, but until it has grown a bit and you can eliminate the other options, I'd mark it as Whirlwind with a question mark. Whirlwind is very commonly sold in large batches commercially, so the chances are good that it is the plant in question, but in a grab bag situation, it is also possible that some more recent variety was included. The solid green hosta is almost certainly Fortunei Hyacinthia, a lovely classic variety that will grow well under almost any conditions.
