I'll see your cogongrass and raise you trumpet vine. I kid you not, every 3 weeks during the summer I am out cutting back the vine on top of my pergola that is a good 6 feet from my house and it still feels like I'm losing the war. This thing drops seeds all over the place and vines start sprouting from all the beds and grass. If it reaches a tree it starts to climb it like crazy and if it touches the house for long enough it will suction on to the mortar/woodwork and you will have a devil of a time getting it off.
