Armstrong Garden Centers Mock Orange
Best low-maintenance shrub for gardeners seeking fast-growing, year-round privacy screens.
This evergreen is the ultimate architectural workhorse for those who want fast-growing privacy without sacrificing visual interest. While its rapid, ten-foot spread demands occasional pruning to keep it in check, the shifting, variegated foliage offers a level of year-round texture that most standard hedges simply cannot match.
