We live in an 1890s farmhouse and have done a bit of landscaping but haven’t addressed this area with grasses hiding out air conditioners. The grasses are sort of brown/dead in the middle. I was thinking of removing and adding some hydrangeas or something that flowers. I’m looking to add more hydrangeas / boxwoods to our garden next year.
We are in zone 5 (Chicago). This area gets mostly full sun. I’m not a huge fan of the current hydrangea (limelight I believe) that is flopped over but it has grown well here.

Whatever you add make sure there’s enough room for airflow or else you’re going to overheat and fry your AC units.
I only have window units but I’d probably stick with a privacy screen for easier maintenance
