Default Plant Trumpet Vine in container?

Hi, can anyone give me suggestions on this?

I have built a privacy lattice fence (plastic type 8 ft high 24 ft wide
with 4x4's and 2x4's for support) I have ordered 3 Indian Summer Trumpet
Vines to grow up the trellis and probably up the 50-60' oak tree behind it.

I have since read that they can be very invasive and hard to control and am
getting a little worried if I ordered to many or if I should even plant them
in my zone7 GA area. Dappled shade to part sun?

I read mixed reviews from several people. Some love them others hate them. I
wanted to plant for the privacy and hummingbirds. One lady said she planted
them in 5 gal plastic pots with the bottom cut out along with pruning and
pulling out new sprouts she had good results.

Anyone here have any experience with them and can give advice?
TIA.
