Climbing plants on the house - yes or no - experiences?

Wisteria becomes quite heavy and looks for cracks. So if anything, I would keep a larger distance from the facade. Wisteria is also quite maintenance-intensive, needs to be pruned often. It grows (obviously) towards the sun – I would definitely ask at the nursery beforehand whether it is suitable for your project.

We have grapevines at the house – blue grapes with seeds, super sweet and hardy. It is pruned twice a year, otherwise needs nothing and thrives. However, that is also the south side. The photo is not current ^^ (but there still isn't any pavement laid to date...)

: "Since the stuff is highly toxic, we had it removed with small children ." I find that a bit exaggerated. When we removed wisteria at the last house, we still kept both children. They have developed quite well over the years, and we still wouldn’t want to be without them today :-)

Thank you very much for your feedback. Well, the trellis is anchored directly into the outer wall. So the weight doesn’t really give me any worries – the architect also said that this is not a problem. The gardener comes at least twice a year anyway and can take care of the pruning.

Most of our concerns are primarily about the sun. But even there, I have actually seen wisteria that thrives in rather shady places. I think it should work out.

What kind of windowless dormer is that - are sausages drying there?
