Boston Ivy
Boston ivy is preferred over English ivy because English ivy will eventually invade walls and get into the crevasse between the walls and roof. This could lead to separation of the roof from the house!
The best time to plant ivy would be early spring after most of the harsh weather has passed. This will give the plants as much time as possible to get established and grow before winter sets in again.

It has a juvenile form, which is the one which is most recognizable growing on walls; it also has an adult form (if the plant is allowed to grow out), which produces sprays of white flowers followed by black berries.
