Dont do it!
It's a nightmare! Literally takes over without constant care and
attention. I would suggest you find a less aggressive climber than
Ivy. Maybe even consider attaching plant beds to the wall to make it
more attractive or surround it with some 'garden planters'
(http://passionforpots.co.uk/).
Good luck. Hope it goes well.

Too late!
4 varieties of H. Helix already ordered:
Golden Girl
Ceridwen
Gold Ingot
Tri-Colour
Good for you.
Some ivies, particularly the common green one, are fast growing but not all
are. I think you'll enjoy your plants and learning about their different
properties - let us know!
