Indoor & Outdoor Plants Mooloolaba supplies premium hedging plants and screening plants throughout the Sunshine Coast. Our range includes tropical screening plants, evergreen hedges, palms, feature plants and fast-growing privacy plants selected for Queensland’s subtropical climate.

Choosing the Best Screening Plants for Sunshine Coast Gardens
The Sunshine Coast offers excellent growing conditions for many tropical and subtropical screening plants. However, choosing the right variety is important to ensure your plants establish well and provide long-term privacy.
Coastal properties may need plants that tolerate sun, wind and salt exposure, while suburban gardens often require narrower screening options that provide privacy without taking up too much space.
Before selecting screening plants, consider:
- The height of privacy required
- Available planting space
- Coastal exposure and wind conditions
- Sunlight throughout the day
- Water requirements
- Maintenance preferences
- Growth speed
- How the plants will look throughout the year

Tropical Screening Plants Sunshine Coast
The Sunshine Coast climate is ideal for creating lush tropical gardens using palms, heliconias, flowering gingers and large-leaf foliage plants.
Combining plants with different heights creates a layered garden design that provides privacy while adding texture, colour and a relaxed tropical feel.
Popular tropical screening combinations include:
- Heliconias for dense foliage and tropical flowers
- Golden Cane Palms for soft privacy screens
- Calathea lutea for large dramatic leaves

Privacy Plants for Sunshine Coast Boundary Fences
Boundary planting is one of the most common reasons homeowners choose screening plants.
A well-planned green screen can hide fences, improve privacy, reduce overlooking from neighbouring properties and create a more enjoyable outdoor living area.
When planting along boundaries, it is important to consider both mature height and width. Selecting plants suited to the available space creates healthier gardens that require less maintenance over time.
Screening Plants for Small Sunshine Coast Gardens
Many Sunshine Coast properties have limited garden space, particularly townhouses, coastal homes and smaller suburban blocks.
Compact hedges, upright palms and narrower screening plants can provide privacy without overwhelming the garden.
Good options for smaller gardens include:
- Narrow Lilly Pilly varieties
- Murraya hedges
- Clumping palms
- Compact tropical plants
- Upright screening varieties
Pool Screening Plants Sunshine Coast
Screening plants are extremely popular around Sunshine Coast swimming pools where homeowners want privacy, softer landscaping and a tropical resort-style atmosphere.
Palms, heliconias, gingers and large foliage plants can soften pool fencing while creating a more relaxing outdoor entertaining space.
