Thanks for the replies to my original post as above. I would like the hedge
to be 2 feet max, which seems to rule out the lonicera nidida. The box
seems best except that the hedge will run roughly east/west and will be in
full sun. A search of the characteristics of box says part shade.
Any further help or comments would be appreciated. Sorry that I did not put
fuller details in my original post.


Have you thought of cotton lavender (which can be hedged perfectly
to two feet)?

Santolina. It's a real toughie and can survive drought and burning
day long sun. Not only that but it is a very good companion plant for
various reasons - deterring nasties and encouraging friendlies (I'm
told). Evergreen, aromatic and has flowers.
