Suitable plants as security barrier in shaded place


Recommended Posts

We've a space next to our neighbors fence that we were thinking to plant with gorse but not sure if will be OK due to shade as apparently likes full sun. The area is sandy soil so free draining but is a bit acidic due to pine needles.

 

Any other suggestions that could work? Ideally something to cover the ground and prevent a casual fence jumper gaining access.

 

Area is about 2m x 8m going down a slope between a fence and our driveway - shaded as the slope goes down and the driveway is to the south and is elevated.

That only looks interesting in the spring. Some years it hardly flowers.

 

But you get sloe gin and puncture wounds !

 

@Adam2, go for varieties of pyracantha (firethorn) with several colours of berries, and plant them spread out along nearish the bottom, then let them develop into a thicket if you have space, and birds will love it.
