My experience with myrsine africana is that indeed it can be kept low
but in Athens climate ,dry and hot, it does better in shade.It has a
tendency to have parts dying back and I saw it getting bronzy in full
sun-but it could be because of chalky and not very fertile soil.
About keeping low hedges,I've seen teucrium fruticans that can grow very
large kept 30-40 cm high.I find it a very healthy,reliable hedge,high or
low, in the grey colours.
I've also seen in southern Spain,very nice low borders of atriplex
halimus-grey,drought,salt tolerant.
