Boxwood: the formal hedge
Small, dense, rounded leaves in a uniform green. Boxwood reads as a clipped hedge, the kind that lines a hotel entrance or frames a formal garden. It is the most popular choice for privacy because the density hides what is behind it, and it looks right on a straight fence run or a freestanding planter.
Ivy: the garden wall
Larger, pointed leaves with more variation in size and tone. Ivy looks grown rather than clipped, so it suits a wall, a trellis or a courtyard where a hedge would feel too formal. It softens brick and block especially well.
Ligustrum ficus: the tropical wall
Glossy, oval leaves in mixed greens with a fuller, looser habit. Ficus is the choice for restaurant patios, pool decks and rooftop lounges where the goal is a lush wall rather than a hedge line. Mixed with lavender or flowering myrtle panels it becomes a living wall.
Which one for privacy?
All three block the view once the panels interlock. Boxwood is the densest, ivy and ficus give a little more depth and shadow. For a fence you look at every day from close up, pick the one that matches the plants already on the property; for a commercial space, pick the one that matches the mood you want.
Outdoors, all of them
Every NatraHedge panel uses RealLeaf foliage with UV inhibitors infused directly with the colorings, so the green holds twice as long as standard artificial foliage. The product pages list the expected outdoor life and the fire rating for each style. Still deciding? Ask for a sample and hold the three side by side.
