We recently planted these shrubs because my wife wants to block the ugly / old phone and internet boxes (No longer in use), plus to add more green to our backyard.

I’m now thinking that we could’ve planted something that blocks the view but also helps our local pollinators here on Zone 10b (Orlando)

What shrub or plant would you recommend?
It needs to be something that would grow to about 2.5 -3 feet to cover the box.

Thanks in advanced for your feedback,

Thanks in advanced for your feedback. We live in Orlando and planted 2 types of milkweed to support pollinators. I installed drip irrigation as well.

I planted them about 2 weeks ago and the milkweed in the front continuously becomes wilted during the day. Last night I had the drip irrigation On for about 1 hour from 8-9pm

This morning around 11am the leaves were wilted and droopy (1st pic)., the 3rd picture shows the irrigation and how much water they get.

Should I water them daily, multiple times per day until fully established? I appreciate the advice., I want them to take and become fully stablished.

I have this beautiful vine looking plant that grows from the other side of the fence. Butterflies and other pollinators seem to love it. I find the little flowers to be so beautiful.

Can you help me identify what plant this is? We’ve been at our house for 7 years and every year it comes back bigger and stronger to the point that I’m thinking I need to trim it down a bit.

This year I’m planting passion fruit to the right of the fence to attract more butterflies. Thanks for the help.
