I'm so jealous of you all living further south! The best I can grow is Yellow Groove. But it grows really well.
It's not too invasive here in Indiana as long as you do two things:
put it somewhere where you can mow all around it, or if you want it to fill in an area, just put barrier down around it.
Mine has gotten to be around 9-10 feet tall, and we don't baby it one bit. We just planted it and let it go after that. I haven't even watered it in three years.
I do have yellow groove available for sale if any of you cold weather people are interested, just let me know via private message.
this is a picture of it this spring (behind the basjoo).
