I don't know what king of flexibility you want but "Ivy Generator" is a great free software for creating realistic Ivy in geometry. You import you Obj where you want Ivy grow , setup your ivy with a couples of parameters and export a Obj of the Ivy for using it in Blender or any other 3D software. Juste did a such for " Ivy Generator by by Thomas Luft " you the first link should be the good one.

BTW, great tutorial for anyone want more controle !
