As with a vegetated roof, having a watertight assembly is an important part of a successful installation. A root barrier, to prevent plant roots from penetrating the wall system would also be needed.

If the wall doesn’t keep the water out, it’s not working; so that always needs to be addressed, whether it’s a vegetated wall or not.

A vegetated wall would tend to reduce the amount of windblown water getting into the wall, since the leaves and limbs of the plants act as a screen.

I think the entire idea is phenominal
Unfortunately it is not for everyone, but moving forward with new construction, this should always be pitched as an option.
Personally I love where the homes are recycling the water and heating it underground. Talk about keeping down your bills
There is so much we can do to save the earth, but most are afraid of change

Does this work in the south, where mold is such an issue? I would worry that moisture could get through to the interior walls?
