Hi Gerry, I'm sure this is a straight forward question but your help would be appreciated. What would you advise to plant in a bed of about 25m x 1m in lenght. We would be looking for plants to provide privacy (division between neighbour) but not to grow out of control and provide colour throughout most of the year. We would also be looking at staggering levels of height to break up the eye line.Appreciate your assistance. Michael
