It is a boring, unattractive, genus with invasive habits and -as far as I
can see - no redeeming features that cannot be matched or exceeded by
other
plants in similar locations.
1) What would you advise as a variegated evergreen self-clinging climber
on a north wall in N england which grows vigorously in poor soil with no
attention?
I wouldn't want a variegated evergreen self-clinging climber on a wall if
the consequences might be those of an ivy.
I'd improve the soil and plant something more attractive.
2) Would your alternative be as attractive to wildlife?
Possibly. But I could still mount a very substantial bird feeder to the wall
if not, or as well.
