Wax Leaf Ligustrum is an evergreen shrub with a high tolerance for drought conditions, making it adaptable to most environments. At maturity, the Wax Leaf Ligustrum can grow to 8 feet in both height and width, although moderate pruning will allow owners to shape this plant into whatever shape is desired.
As a dense, upright shrub, it is most commonly used for hedging and border planting. The plant's small, oval leaves are a deep green hue, contrasting with the creamy white flowers that bloom multiple times.
Growing quickly during the summer months, this Ligustrum will fill in any spot, quickly. The Wax Leaf Ligustrum is an evergreen shrub with a high tolerance for drought conditions, making it adaptable to most environments.

Elaeagnus The shrub’s unique olive green leaves with silver or brown scales, fall fragrance and edible fruit work together to make the beauty a year-round favorite. But part of this plant’s popularity also comes from its ability to grow quickly and adapt to adverse climate conditions. In fact, this hardy shrub even stands up to very dry conditions! During one summer of extraordinary drought conditions. They’re actually happiest in problem areas created by nature, like hot sun and poor soil conditions, as well as in tough areas created by me – like growing far beyond the reach of our longest hose! Few shrubs grow as fast as Elaeagnus, too, making this an excellent choice for hedges and green screens where you want to obscure a less-than-desirable view. You can expect your shrubs to grow to heights of 6-15 feet with widths in proportion to their mounded
shape.
Sweet Mock Orange- Commonly known as mock orange bush, Philadelphus coronarius is another fast growing sun shrub, this one noted for its graceful overlays of white, very fragrant spring flowers on bright green vegetation. The cultivar "Natchez" grows to 10 feet tall and wide quite rapidly, and features very large, cupped blossoms. Mock orange does well from zone 3 to zone 9. It requires pruning every year, just after flowering, to stay neat and tidy. If mock orange has been neglected, cut it back all the way to the ground with loppers to encourage vigorous new growth.
Privet- There are many species of privet (Ligustrum) but all of them are tough and extremely fast growing. The plant's name means "private." Privet brings showy, fragrant flowers to the landscape in spring and summer, along with bees. To keep the bees at bay, prune the hedge before it flowers. After the flowers are spent, blue-back berries appear that are favored by birds. This species grows up to 12 feet tall and 8 feet wide with a dense, compact structure. Plant the privet in full or partial sun and give it moderate water. Hardiness zones vary by species.
Variegated Privet Fast Growing Shrub for Privacy Screens - Smooth textured leaves and an abundance of color are the hallmarks of the Variegated Privet. Unlike the more common privets with their distinct gray color, our Variegated Privet offers green and creamy-white coloration in its foliage.
The white coloring of the leaves are matched by white flowers in mid-summer when the Privet blooms. These blossoms are followed by blue-black berries that grow in late summer.
The Variegated Chinese Privet is best used as a specimen plant or as part of a hedge. The richness of color makes it a solid addition to most gardens.
Arborvitae Green Giant Plant the green giant arborvitae for a large, fast-growing tree that will top out at about 60 feet with a spread of about 20 feet. The Arbor Day website states, "This is an excellent landscape tree for screening views, noise, and wind or as an ornamental specimen." This evergreen gives year-round privacy and likes full sun, moist, well-drained soil and is hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 5 to 7.
