I am worried about them becoming unmanageable in time and spreading into neighbouring beds. Can you contain them somehow to a small patch?

Can be a pain when they do spread.. had an accident where some escaped into long grass..now I have five new plants. I grow mine in a 1/2 wine barrel. Also plant in some climbing beans to run up the stalks during summer to value add the crop.
