Foliage, purple or otherwise

Thanks to those of you who responded with suggestions for purple-foliage
plants.  I have many of the dark heuchera (love 'em) and want to try the
wood sorrel -- can you suggest a source?

Lest some of you think I have a 'mourning garden' with lots of dark
foliage, not true!  But following on with the thread about keeping
interest in the garden as the bloom cycles fade away, I highly recommend
thinking about foliage effects along with the flowers. Colorful foliage
and textural contracts (ferny leaves, big leaves, smooth leaves, rough
leaves, spiky leaves, mounded leaves, etc.) along with touches of lime,
variegated, purple, & grey foliage (not to overdo it) amongst the greens
will go along way toward maintaining the impression that "something is
happening!" even between the waves of flowering.  Since this is my
favorite topic and greatest interest if I have to choose one among all
the gardening fun, I'll stop before I get carried away.  I'd welcome
suggestions from any of you who share these interests in great foliage.
