Am looking for a good evergreen fairly fast growoing vine to cover up
my chimney in the shaded side of the property. Had considered
dutchmans pipe, english ivy and creeping fig. I know a lot of homes
in europe is literlly covered in creeping fig.

Anyone in this forum familiar with or utilize this plant? Pros and
cons appreciated.

Er, where do you live? Creeping fig doesn't do well everywhere.
But it WILL prefer sun.

Bout 100 miles north of the Gulf Coast in Alabama........I would
imagine it should do fine here as the nursery says it sells a ton of
the stuff every year.
