trumpet vine for shade...how close to house? too aggresive?

I have not been able to get anything to establish on the northwest side of our house to shade first story windows.  The sun does not hit the wall until after 2pm and then it's blasting it until sunset.

trumpet vine grows easily here and has volunteered almost exactly where I would like it for shade cover at the house.

Has anyone grown it against their house?
...on a pergola near a wall?

I see it growing wild with a nice thick trunk (or several twisted together) up several feet then lots of leafy growth.

I think I could train it to shade how I would like it to.

Just wondering if there is a downside to having it close to a foundation?

It already pops up everywhere and we just cut it back or mow and sometimes let it grow if it's out if the way.

It doesn't seem nearly as aggressive as wisteria...we learned our lesson there at our old place.

Trumpet Vine

This is AT LEAST a thirty year old trumpet vine. I know this because I grew up with it. Kinda neat no?

I usually go by the idea of not putting anything with exploring roots near foundations. I might be overreacting but I just don't want to risk it. My understanding of trumpet vines is that their roots are particularly aggressive and can produce new plants through it's spreading. The trumpet vine in the picture above has not spread as you can see, but I'm not sure if I would want to tempt fate myself?

You can see the semi-grassy area behind it. For years it was a pull through for vehicles so the ground is rather compacted all around it. Perhaps that helped contain it?

that's huge Timothy!

I did notice it likes to creep under boards and pop back out on our shed....not a good trait against board and batten on our house I guess.....

I think if we had a free standing pergola or arch far enough from the wall to mow in between it could work though.

At our former place, one of the next door neighbours had trumpet vine that was right up on their building, on our side. It was a century brick that had been altered and added on to and was a retail store.
Even with the brick, it was a constant battle. The vines would pull chunks off it and damage the window frames. ( it did shade those windows really well) They would cut it back at least yearly, just to keep it from getting at the roof.

We found runners popping up a good 20+ feet out from the main area of them. Didn't matter how much you mowed them down, they never stopped trying.

The stuff looks gorgeous and the flowers are incredible but after seeing what it does, and how hard it was to contain, let alone try and eliminate, I was very careful not to allow any of it to get any closer to our buildings.
( it's bad enough that a garden full of it and yucca was a chunk of what put us off a house we otherwise really liked when we did our last property hunt)

Ending the trumpet vine on the house experiment very soon.  Just too aggressive.  The vines hold moisture against the house as well.  I am going to paint the wall white instead.

thanks everyone!
I think you've tipped the scale against allowing trumpet vine anywhere near the house!
