Re: patio over rail planter boxes

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @iloveplants. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about screening plants.

 

If you can let our helpful members know what size planters you've purchased, they'll be better placed to offer suitable plant suggestions. Also, how high do they need to grow to screen out the neighbours?

 

It sounds like you might be best to grow a climber like Star jasmine. You can grow it in the planters and train it into a screen with a wire trellis. They grow quickly and make excellent screening plants.

 

You might like to read through this helpful guide: How to choose a screening plant.

We look forward to hearing more about the planters and the view you need to screen.
