Privacy Evergreen Shrubs

Holly Shrubs
Nellie Stevens Hollies

What are the most popular privacy evergreen shrubs?

Whether you’re looking to block some people from looking in, or you want to block something you’re looking at, privacy evergreen shrubs are a great choice to create a living privacy fence.

The most popular privacy shrubs and hedges have dense foliage. Other things to consider when choosing privacy shrubs are: How wide do they get, how fast do they grow, how much care & pruning is required and how many will you need.

Holly shrubs are some of the most popular, and the Nellie Stevens Holly is considered one of the fastest growing hollies. Steeds Holly is another good choice, especially for a medium size hedge. They get about 6 feet tall and 3 feet wide. Other popular privacy shrubs include Privets (North Privet), Blue Arrow Juniper, Wax Myrtle, Mahonia (Oregon Grape Holly), Photina, Cherry Laurel and Firethorn.
