Hydrangea petiolaris.

I do love ivies; but I really would strongly counsel against growing
one on a house wall.


Having just tried to remove one, I have to agree - sadly, though, as I
like them too.

Is Virginia creeper as tenacious?

Boston ivy (the thing that people call virginia creeper but which has
ivy shaped leaves not horse chestnut shaped leaves) is as tenacious and
grows about 12 feet in a season. I've just removed one of them as well
;-)
