Privacy and Screening

Whether you want to grow a living, green fence or provide natural screening, growing plants for privacy and screening is a great gardening solution. Not only will you create an oasis and personal space with privacy hedges, vines and trees, you'll also enhance your garden and property. Our plants for privacy and screening give you lots of options—from flowering shrubs and vines to evergreen bushes and trees. The first step in growing plants for privacy and screening is determining your primary goal and how much space you have. Evergreen plants can provide privacy year-round, while deciduous plants drop their leaves in the fall. In addition to providing privacy, flower shrubs and vines add pops of color to the landscape—and some attract pollinators. Other factors to consider are the plants' hardiness zone, light requirements, soil requirements, mature height and spread, and bloom time.
