Joe ye Weed (eupatorium) is sensational. You have to watch it, because it seeds. I was given one and it grows to large proportions. If you need privacy, it will give it to you. It also is a bumble bee magnet. But it can get out of control over time if you allow it. I watch mine and move seedlings to where I want them to be, but just dispose of some because the following pic, taken in Traverse City, shows what it can turn into. I have a client who has two or three of these, and it\'s still seeding. But it\'s a great block for unattractive views.
