Privacy and Screening
Using vines, climbing plants, shrubs and ornamental grasses to create living privacy screens and hedges is a great way to enhance a landscape and give it a warm, welcoming feel. Direct Gardening offers a wide selection of plants, such as climbing roses, pampas grass, shrubs and clematis vines, that are excellent for growing as privacy screens or "living fences." When selecting the best plants for privacy screening, make sure they are suitable for your hardiness zone. Other factors to consider are their mature height and spread, growth rate, sunlight requirements (full sun, partial shade or full shade), flowering time and color (if applicable), and pruning and maintenance needs.
