    Hi All,
    I was thinking of planting Virginia creeper at my house but I was wondering if the roots of the plant can damage the foundations?
    Thanks

    Do not think roots a problem but can grow rapidly via suckers and get into roof so need to control.

    Another point is that it is late to leaf up, mid May for me then great show of colour from mid Sept.... but if dry Sept a strong wind can strip the leaves in days. Not the case this year☺
