Default Hedge plants -- what else besides forsythia?

I'm looking for something shade tolerant that would grow to about 6
feet tall, preferably with some fullness all along the height of the plant.
Flowers would be nice, too. Nothing that needs lots of pruning year
after year after year.


Hibiscus syriacus (Rose of Sharon) comes to mind.

You'll get lots of seedlings rhough... this could be good, or bad.

I'm in the process of planting a hedge of them in the strip between
the sidewalk and street.
