Can you suggest any cultivar that won't flop? I don't think they'll spread around though. The weather here is too rotten for anything that isn't Bay Laurel or privet.

I am presently tearing up a length of privet hedge and I have been toying with the idea of replacing it with Hibiscus syriacus. It wouldn't be cheap, but the end result could well be worth the effort.
I was thinking of using alternating Blue Chiffon and White Chiffon, for no other reason I can get them cheaper than other cultivars.
Any other thing I may be missing here? Has anyone tried this kind of hedge?
