We are putting a jacuzzi in and wish to hide it from neighbors. The bush will be on a chainlink fence, in a Southern locale with good sun and moist soil. It should be 5-6 feet high and 4-6 feet wide. We'd also like suggestions for another bush in dry shade, same size, please.
Thanks :)

cedars in our area are prone to cedar-apple rust & since we have an apple tre, I've elected not to use cedars :)

Here in our part of Kansas (also 6B), Red Cedar is a no care bush that grows like a weed. Yews are easy to manage, but they are Slow growers. Eunymous is a fast grower but gets ugly in six to ten years. Alternating Yew and Eunymous would form a fast coverage hedge that can cover in one year and as the Yew hedge grows, the Eunymous can be trimmed back or eliminated.

Prunus laurocerasus 'Schkipensis' - Skip Laurel. It's a broadleaf evergreen with white flowers in spring and late summer. It's grows quickly, reaching 6-8'tall and 4-8' wide without trimming. Also does great in shade!

for your sun spot, check into Foster Holly... very nice plant. for the shade, any of the varieties of boxwood should do it, check out the Korean boxwood, they're a little hardier in your zone.

It would be best to go to your local garden center and ask them. They will be able to give you the best ideas.
