Ornamental grasses provide great cover. An alternative would be to build a trellis screen and plant Rose of Sharon or lilac bushes around it. Good luck with your project! I'd love to hear what you decide to do Dee Dee.
If it was in my yard, I'd dig up & loosen the soil around is a little first, amend with some topsoil if the dirt is not very good. Then make a cylinder of a bit of chicken wire that is a little taller than the post and maybe5-10" wider, so it fits around it. Place this over the post, burying the wire a couple of inches for stabilit. Then seed with a vining plant- morning glory, moon flower, cypress vine around it. The vines will eventually cover it and bloom pretty too. for a little more, you could plant something evergreen like ivy.
I would use Patricia's and Gma Kirk ideas and treat it as a lamp post for plantings.
