As a comment about Blue Vervain (Verbena hastata), chelle wrote:

This plant has reached a height of 9' in my seasonal stream bed. I'd class this plant as totally care-free. The leaves are coarse and they aren't pretty, but I find it to be a very nice background plant for a nearly-wild area.

The blue ones in this image are even taller than the yellow flowered Elecampagne (Inula helenium) blooming beneath it. The white ones in the bottom-left of the image have been grown for two seasons in a container, so they're quite a bit shorter.
