The standard solution for cleaning the exterior of a house is a 50/50 mix of bleach and water. Try Outdoor bleach. It is formulated to be safer for plants.
Spray the mix on and scrub with a stiff brush. Rinse with clean water. If the stain is stubborn, let the mix sit for 5-10 minutes before scrubbing.
Always let the cleaned area dry thoroughly for a day or 2 before repairs and painting.
