What climbing plants are easy to grow?
Different climbing plants have different needs and how much maintenance you'll need to put into them. Ivy and the Virginia creeper are relatively low maintenance in the first few years with small amounts of watering required. Once your wall or fence is covered, you'll probably have to prune once a year to keep them looking great and to stop them from growing out of control.
Climbing roses, clematis, honeysuckle, and wisteria tend to need regular pruning to keep in shape and need a fair amount of watering too.
Are climbing plants bad for your house?
Most vines are safe to grow on the side of structures, however, some can damage buildings if there are existing cracks, gaps, and weak spots. When the plant gets inside, it can force the building material further apart and can be difficult to remove. Ensuring that the side of your house is in good condition and likely to fall victim to growing roots, it should be fine to grow climbers.
You can also avoid this from happening by growing vines on trellises and lattices several inches away from the side of your home. Frequently trim these vines to train them away from your house and any gutters you may have.
If you're concerned about damaging your home, avoid plants that have 'suckers' as these little branches burrow. An example of this is ivy.
