Suggestion for plants

Hello,

Have 3x camellia plants and one rose plant in a row in the front yard facing the street and the plants are almost equally spaced. Low fence with a width of 12m. What plants can I grow between the existing plants to get a hedge like privacy as there is quite some gap between the plants. Also, the camellia's blossom well but are short (1.2m), can I do anything to make them grow bigger.

Thank you!

Re: Suggestion for plants

A great screen plant is the

Murraya paniculata - mock orange.  They will take a short time to get going and you will have to do a bit of pruning to get the desired look.  Planted close together they are excellent hedges and very hardy.

 
 
 
 
Fragrant white flowers, dark evergreen leaves, dense compact habit make mock orange a very popular screening plant with Australian gardeners.
