Potted privacy screen plant advice

    2 responses

Meran starts with ...
Hello, I've got some planter boxes made up as balustrades for my deck, designed as a self-watering style with a water reservoir in the bottom, 2.2-2.6m long, 30cm wide, and 80cm deep. I have 3 of those.

I'm trying to find something to plant in two of them to offer complete privacy from neighbors to about 1m high (doesn't matter if it grows a bit higher, just need that first meter to be fairly dense for privacy, 2m max though).

It's about 4.5m off the ground so would need to be wind tolerate. Gets full morning/midday sun, sheltered from late afternoon sun.

Ideally I'd like something to attract birds too. There are quite a few rainbow lorikeets in the area which frequent my neighbors deck which I'd love to attract.

Any suggestions?

Hi Meran

You can't go passed native plant like grevilleas and callistemons. They are tough, wind tolerant and bird attracting liked by lorikeets. Too many varities to choose from. It's up to you what flower color you want. Do your homework and choose. There are heaps of privacy screening plants out there but, most of them are just foliage hence they don't attract bird much which is one of your criteria.

Happy Gardening :-)

Thanks for your reply. They look like a good option. There certainly are a lot of varieties, I've found some on this site which I think would work well for what I want.
Perhaps Callisetmon Rose Opal and Slim, and Grevillea Orange Mamalade.
