Default Alternatives to Pendulous Sedge?

Hi all

I have long had a fondness for Pendulous Sedge and was planning on growing a
clump at one end of my small woodland area (about 6m x 2m), to balance a
nice shuttlecocky fern on the other side.

However, while checking it out with Google I see various urglers have warned
against its invasiveness.

What do people think? Plant one and keep on top of it (given the small area
I'm looking at)? Or is there a better plant that would give me the same sort
of form but be less invasive?

BTW, I'm in Derry, so wetness isn't in short supply, though my soil is
fairly sandy and free-draining. I'm adding lots of leaf-litter and shredded
material to the woodland area, which in addition to the ferns has various
bulbs, establishing cyclamens and a few hellebores.
