  One possibility that comes to mind is the pacific wax myrtle
  (myrica californica). I have a nice hedge of it that grew fast,
  uses very little water, and seems very well behaved, needing no
  attention at all. It's pretty hardy too, and is exactly the 
  dimensions you mention. The only non-qualifier is that it is
  more a medium green than a dark green.
