I'm trying to find a shrub to use as a privacy screen in front of windows on the front side of my house that isn't a Juniper. The list of criteria is:
cold hardy to zone 7
evergreen
low water use / drought tolerant
lots of sun
no thorns
height 6-10 feet
Best I've found to date is a Butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii) that *might* work with one of the more cold hardy varieties. Its deciduous, but stays green if it doesn't get too cold.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
