Hedera helix 'Thorndale'

Ive been told in the last few days, this is going to ruin the face of my walls. Ive been growing it a few years now and now starting to get the look I want. Do I need to be precautious of it I've also planted upstairs on balcony .

Yes it can damage surfaces. Do you want it to cover the entire front of the house, upstairs and down?

Looks good though! #frontdoor #planter #ivy #statue

What are your walls made from?
