English ivy
Classic wall climber
English ivy is a climbing or ground-covering vine with distinctive lobed leaves, native to Europe and widely planted as ornamental greenery.
It clings to walls, trees, and fences with aerial rootlets, creating dense evergreen coverage.
Though popular in landscaping, it spreads aggressively and is considered invasive in many regions: The English ivy had completely overtaken the old brick wall.
