I have a cedar hedge on the edge of my patio that serves as a privacy screen. The hedge is past its prime and needs replacing but the ground is root bound from a nearby maple. I thought a row of planter boxes with some kind of tall plantings would look nice. Looking for some economical suggestions as to what plants would be tall enough to provide a privacy screen and would do well in planter boxes.

Bamboo. But keep it in the boxes only, it is very invasive
Thanks. It is also pricey and messy. Any other thoughts?
Lemongrass
Do you have an over hang of any kind? If so maybe you can use a gardening net or twine to encourage a climbing plant or how about metal trellis?
Different types of grasses could do the trick. They get large and produce good privacy. And they grow easily. I would get the kind that doesnt spread though. Its very invasive if you get the kind that takes off all over the place.
Thanks Janey. I will check it out.
