 Crimson Glory vine (Vitis Coignetiae) - Ambo
Have any posters tried growing this fast-growing vine, renowned for its broad leaves and autumn colours? I am looking for a ground, wall and fence cover. Virginia Creeper can't get a grip on the rendered wall in question. I tried Russian Vine but it romped out of control, looked set to take over the entire garden and had to be eradicated.

Not Crimson Glory but in a similar situation we have what appears to be this:

Been there a while, I think Mrs B planted it ten or so years ago. Grows from a large pot, although roots are probably through the bottom. It's covered a stretch of boundary wall and grown up the house all the way to the gutter. Needs regular trimming or it would obstruct my study/back bedroom window.

How about Boston Ivy. Self clinging unlike Crimson Glory or Virginia Creeper.

It may look great, but I would be nervous about the damage it could do to the wall longer term.

Some climbing plants are apparently not too bad, others will wreck mortar and brickwork.

Depends what you want. Boston Ivy will I need me tricky to remove without damaging a wall surface although it’s roots do not penetrate. The other plants suggested are not self clinging and will need some sort of support in the form of trellis or wires.

As a remarkably annoying person allow me to point out that whilst the genus name is spelt with a capital letter, the species name is always lower case. Hence V.... c..... Anna Pavord wrote a book - The Naming of Names - The Search For Order In the World Of Plants - for those who are interested in taxonomic botany. I have a copy. Yes, I know.
