Default Ceanothus for hedging?

I have a south facing fence, about 60 ft long and 4 ft high. I really like
the vibrant colour of ceanothus and I'm wondering if it would make a
suitable hedge to run along in front of the fence. I've seen some types
which have small leaves and very type clumps of bright blue flowers in the
spring/early summer. I would like the plants to grow to least 6-7 ft.

Can anyone make any recommendations?

Thanks very much.

tends to be to short lived to make a good hedge, and apart from C. arborea
does not like being cut back.
