This guy was here when I bought my home. I have no idea what it is, but I left it as a background plant when I redid the bed it lives in last year.
It grows pretty quick, and I've had to cut it back a couple of times to prevent a takeover. It sends vine-like branches up along the side of the house, but it doesnt have any way to attach itself, so it can be pulled off the stone with no effort.
I plan on keeping it, I'm just curious if anyone could identify it.
Thanks!

Oh, I forgot to mention that I have yet to see it produce any kind of flower or berry since I moved in two years ago.
Also, the leaves turn really dark and drop in the winter as well... then produces new leaves on the existing growth in the spring.

For me it looks like a Euonymus Coloratus (Kerbo Nursery-?).

I think you got it! :D
I had thought the leaves were dying when they turned really dark in the winter, but that is a trait of Purpleleaf Wintercreeper (Euonymus Coloratus)
I had assumed it was just growing new leaves in the spring this whole time.
