Wow, I'm jealous. Mine doesn't have chartreuse foliage at all - ordinary dark green.
The contrast looks great. And you pics really show it well.

Btw, another great late-blooming blue flowered plant standing out against chartreuse foliage are the new gold-leaved blue-mist shrubs (caryopteris). They need good drainage.
I think this one is called 'sunshine blue', but I think there are several similar cultivars.
The 2nd pic shows how the insects love the blooms.
Btw, ignore the weeds...
