Please Suggest Low Hedge Shrub For Minimal Direct Sun

[mlm101]

Our front lawn is being invaded by dandelion from our neighbor's weed lawn that just keeps getting mowed over and over.
HOA will go into convulsions if I put up posts and screen material to prevent the seed pods from invading our lawn.

Therefore, I plan on planting a hedging shrub to block / filter the weed seeds. Sticky foliage is a plus!

Please suggest Zone 9/10 shrub (2-5ft high) that flourishes with minimal direct sunlight (summer late afternoon/eve 4hrs, winter 1hr).

Thank you!

I was just hunting for those today myself. One question: zone 9/10 where?

I'm in deep south Georgia and for me, english cherry laurel and a few other types of Laurel hedges would suit. I have an area that gets shade and part sun at different times of the day and year and these get between 4-6' high and wide. I don't know if they would be good for your exact area or not, though.

I suggest you try a local online nursey's site and check out the section on Laurels.
