What do you want the hedge for?
I have a buddleia hedge and I love it. I only put it in to help obscure the paddock from the drive and the drive from the footpath which works great for summer and not a lot in winter, but then people don't tend to be about anyway. It is made from salvaged seedlings out off the drive and a few cuttings (so cheap is great) and has been in place about 8 years. It is hardy (the white don't tend to bulk up so well) and then you hack it all back as hard as you like, although they do produce a lot of waste material to get rid off. Mine smells great in the summer and there are that many butterflies that they often set the doorbell off. I am trying to introduce the odd lilac into it now just to add something else/ more interest. Unfortunately I have looked through pics and can't find any for when it is at its best. I am happy to post a pic of it now so you can see it at its worst before I hack it back for summer.
