Hedging It In
Gain valuable backyard privacy by employing fences and walls for restricted spaces, and greenery for large, sweeping expanses. Several choices include: viburnums, small-flowered anise (Illicium floridanum or I. Parviflorum), Leyland cypress, Japanese cedars, Chamaecyparis (a false cypress), red-tip photinia, or tall-growing ornamental grasses. Your local garden center can help you choose plants for your particular site.
