Lois, I'm not sure Ivy can withstand your winters. I suggest you visit your local independent garden center and chat with the manager/buyer of landscape plants. He/she will have some experience with vines used in this capacity in your location and should be able to give you some recommendations from first hand experience. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.
