A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum need a plant list

I need a list of tall plants that I can select from to plant to block the view of my neighbor. Any suggestions

What garden zone and what's the sun situation?...also how high do you want the tall back row?

My DD bought a package of the wild flower mix-(like wal-mart carries?)- and put it out---today most of the flowers are about 4-5 feet tall--and she says it is full of wasps--so it would sure keep people away--and a bonus is that it is pretty & smells wonderfull!!!

oleander

Arbutus unedo 'Compacta' Strawberry Tree zone 7-9
Carpenteria californica 'Elizabeth' California Bush Anemone zone 7-10

I choose plants that can get to 6 feet high and that are evergreen. I hope something in the list is of use to you.

these are great thanks

tall as I can get and I'm in zone 7. thinking too about some crape mertyle (SP?) and leave them bushy?? what do you think?

Crape Myrtle are a great choice. Many people around here have them. They have an upright growth pattern from what I've seen so you may want to plant several. Depending on how long of a screen you want. But make sure you get the drarf not the trees. No go to have the branches above your head if you are shooting for a screening affect.
