A bold, even ambitious climber, the vine Virginia creeper can reach heights of 20 to 30 feet. It’s taking over one side of my house but I really do not mind, in part because of the fall color.
The plant is native to central and eastern North America. In Canada it’s known as "Engelmann's Ivy” named in honor of George Engelmann (1809 – 1884) a German-American botanist instrumental in describing the flora found in western of North America.

Yes it is gorgeous but you will probably suffer in the long run. Despite having no view from inside it will pull the mortar out and your house will fall down! All the best.
Hello dear Adrian.
Yes. I know it's undermining my home and I should take my clippers to it. Chop. Chop. And I will but for now I just want to look at it.
I hope all is well for you. It's a rather fine day on this side of the world.
