Blue Ornamental Grasses?

Y'all are going to think that I have a thing for blue at this rate (not really, I'm more fond of purple).

Anyhow, I have seen photos of gardens with either Fescue Elijah Blue or Helicotrichon sempervirens Sapphire, and I just love that look. I've read that Elijah Blue does not do all that well here in Texas, and I haven't read any Texans singing the praises of Sapphire. I'm wondering what does well here that looks about the same. Northaven Gardens has a grass list with the comment that Carex glauca, aka Carex flacca, looks similar and does well here. What do you think?
