Looking for a evergreen shrub to be the back drop for other things planted in front of it around the house. Something that's like 5-6 feet tall or can be pruned to that height if needed.
Was looking at Daphne, but its posinous to dogs and cats.
Maybe something like a nandina that's taller?
ETA, full sun to partial shade.

Cleyera - sun or shade
Viburnum - fast growing
Azalea - will take some time to trim but makes great spring color
Sasanqua Camellias - would have to start with 7gal - 10 gal at least

Problem I always had with camelias were that they bloomed in Jan/Feb, which was awesome, but they made a mess (think magnolia tree with all the brown leaves under each tree.

Viburnum. Indian hawthorn is too short / low for what you want I think

Ok, I saw 4-5 feet for indian hawthorne, but that may be on the high in. I like it though and may use it in front of some of the others.
