There are scores that will fill the bill, get a good book.
Reply:We have Indian hawthorne bushes in zone 7B. They flower beautifully in the sun, but they are picky plants.


I also really like the mini hollies because they grow right about 6 ft. and give privacy without blocking the sun.


Japanese boxwood is another favorite but that only grows uto 3-4'.
Reply:Your located in the South. What ZONE?


Some of the newer Spirea shrubs grow to 6'. They have beautiful flowers all summer and are easy to maintain. Some have light or dark green leaves and the newer ones have lime green leaves.


Try looking for some of the newer lilacs. Some of the newer hybrids.


Oh and my favorite wiegelia. They come in solid leaf color with beautiful flowers in spring and some have variegated leaf color and others have burgandy leaf color.


Camellias are popular and they require yearly pruning to maintain the 6' height limit you need.They are evergreen


Most perennial shrubs will require some pruning to the maintenance level of 6' anyway.


There are a few to choose from, and many more. Check with your local nursery they always have a helpful and knowledgeable staff to assist customers.
