Best hedging plants #942566

Asked August 16, 2026, 3:20 PM EDT

Hi! I’m trying to install a privacy screen and know of a few good hedging plants. We’re focusing on natives but also just want something that does the screening job and can handle drought so we’re open to non-natives as well. Right now, I have ninebark and red-osier dogwood) selected as potential specimens. We are working with about a 5-10 wide space and would like something anywhere from 6-10ft high. The area is on the north side of our property and receives full sun (in the summer). Thank you!
