Choose Summer Flower Screen for a colorful seasonal screen where privacy and bloom matter more than a formal evergreen wall. The tradeoff: it needs regular watering, cleanup, and patience while it fills in.
Buy This If
You want flowers with screening.
You like a softer border.

The site stays dry.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
It gives a border color, movement, and a more finished look without feeling like a solid wall.
Growth Rate
B+
It can fill in well during the growing season, but it is not instant privacy on planting day.
Maintenance
B-
Plan on watering, seasonal cleanup, and some trimming to keep the planting looking intentional.
Deer Resistance
C+
Mixed flowering plantings can handle some browsing, but hungry deer may still sample tender growth.
Small Space Fit
B
It works along many borders, but it needs enough depth to look layered instead of crowded.
Screening Value
B
It gives good warm-season privacy, but it should not be treated as a four-season screen.

Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for customers who want privacy to feel like a garden, not a fence. Give it sun, water, and room to layer, or choose a simpler screen.

Customers Usually Ask
Will this block my neighbor completely?
It helps soften and screen views in season, but it is not a solid privacy wall.
Does it work in shade?
Not well; choose a different planting if the area gets little direct sun.
Is this a low-care planting?
Moderate care is fair; watering and seasonal cleanup are part of the deal.
Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
WHY go anywhere else!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
