Do you have it within a barrier? If so, it probably will be OK. :-) Even though it is a clumping variety and not as prone to becoming invasive, it is a LARGE plant. Here are some images of mine to give you an idea of the possible growth (and it probably does better in LA than here because our winters are colder). 2001 - about a year after the 24" box was planted (the arbors were moved and the greenhouse now stands in their place) http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/24706/ 2003 - http://davesgarden.com/pf/showimage/24705/ And some images taken today.
