I need some thing that grows very small maximum height 7-8 inches.
Is there a yew hedge that suitable?
I've got a front wall that acts a raise bed..currently looking apocalyptic.

Purple sage?

Given that Box can grow into large topiary specimens,
yet can give (very) low hedges,
it suggests that Yew, repeatedly trimmed, will impoverish the soil,
and stay within your height requirements. -
Have you considered lavender? It can knit together and make a hedgelike barrier and there's the bonus of scent.

If you have a garden that is not also used by young children; English Yew!
Grows strongly when young, can be clipped and kept as an evergreen hedge.
(All parts/sap are toxic.
If brave you can eat the sticky pink flesh of the fruit,
but,
do not ingest the seed).
