Plants for Privacy

Emerald Green arborvitae, which will eventually reach 12 to 15 feet tall, are a good choice for a four-season privacy planting.

Vines make great screens. Clematis features large, spring-blooming flowers that come in a variety of colors. The plants are slow to mature, so for fast results purchase plants that are at least two years old.

Train climbing roses over fences, walls, pergolas and gazebos. Try pretty-in-pink 'Eden' or the stunning, multicolored 'Joseph's Coat'. 

Cherry laurel is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to the southeastern United States. It grows 15 to 36 feet tall and shows off small clusters of creamy white flowers in early spring.
