Privacy plants narrow space

July 30, 2022 - I'd get native shrubs like rhododendrons or viburnums. ... Could always erect a small lattice and let some jasmine take it over. Evergreen, smells great, and will (eventually) completely obscure the neighbors’ view. ... I’m not sure if they are available in your zone, but Podocarpus make a great, narrow privacy hedge ... I planted Pillar Rose of Sharon in a similar space and I’m loving them so far. Should only get to be about 2 ft wide and 8-10 ft tall.

Privacy Shrubs For Landscaping Your Yard | Plant By Number
Tall flowering shrubs can also be used to create a privacy screen, with the added benefit of seasonal blooms. These shrubs not only offer seclusion but also bring color and fragrance to your garden. Lilacs, for instance, can grow quite tall and offer fragrant blooms in spring. Another option is the butterfly bush, which, while primarily known for attracting pollinators, can also provide substantial height and coverage. Tall skinny shrubs are ideal for creating privacy in narrow spaces.
