expounded:

Virginia creeper would probably grow in those conditions just fine.
they like alkaline conditions, shade, grow thru cracks in concrete
just fine too... LOL. they grow fast, they do have roots that attach,
but they are beautiful in summer, turn red in fall, have berries for
wildlife. Ingrid

I don't know about the alkaline part, they grow like weeds all over
here, and the soil runs from acid to corrosive! Shade is a must,
however.
