Hi, I wish to have a plant screen to give us a bit more privacy in the
garden. but they will have to be on a patio, so the plants will have to be
in largish pots.
any suggestions please on what are; inexpensive, evergreen, fast growing
plants that will be happy at about 4ft 6 inches high, please? someone
suggested viburnam tinus,.... is that a good suggestion?
many thanks for any help. john west

Get or make some elongated planters.
Add trellis to the height you require.
Plant ivy................... :~)
You can add some colour with annuals or another climber through the ivy.

It's evergreen and can be pruned to keep it the size you want
The 'boxes' can be pushed up close together to form a 'hedge'
