Fast growing privacy plants like Callistemon 'Slim’, Murraya, Aussie Hedge Bush, and Carissa ‘Desert Star’ provide effective screening in Australian gardens. The key is choosing the right plant and spacing it correctly for a dense result.

Carissa ‘Desert Star’ is a tough, low-maintenance shrub ideal for coastal and dry conditions. With glossy foliage, fragrant white flowers, and strong resilience, it’s a reliable choice for hedging, borders, and problem areas where other plants struggle.

If you want a hedge that grows quickly, fills in properly and gives you privacy, Syzygium ‘Select Form’ is hard to beat. Plant it at the right spacing, give it a bit of attention early and it’ll reward you with a dense, tidy screen that does exactly what a hedge should.
