I am also z5 and I can tell you from experience that it grows just fine in this climate. How big is the area where you want to put it? If it will be anywhere near other plants, I would dig down at least 2' and put in some sort of sturdy barrier. Concrete or something like that. Ours continually pushed a low wall built from cinder blocks out of place. It even went under the wall and came up in the grass. We finally had to remove it, it was so much trouble to control. The more water it gets, the bigger and faster it grows.
