Virginia creeper on the house

Damien Bready asked 16 years ago
A510)We have recently moved into an ex-council house which is pebble dashed. I was considering planting a Virginia Creeper to cover the “ugly” appearance, however I have been warned against it due to the vigorous growth. Can you suggest anything more suitable that will easily grip to the pebble dash? Thanks in advance.

Virginia creeper is very vigorous and would need to be kept in check. You could use ivy, which is self-clinging, or a climbing rose or a potato vine, both of which require support.
