Hedge/screen for foliage or flowers

I would have suggested similar to PP and VC.
Elizabeth is a lovely pittosporum- I have Tom Thumb too. I think the plain green ones are faster growing for cutting? Even the plain ones are fabulous cut.
I planted an area of cornus - love the coloured stems.
Eucalyptus are very fast growing - coppice every year to keep them small. I wanted to do similar. They are generally easy from seed but none have germinated for me this year. Started last Autumn.

I bought a gara eliptica last year?? I'm off to search the name. Absolutely gorgeous tassels and something a little different for cutting during the winter?
