Is dwarf morning glory invasive?

I would like to plant dwarf morning glory (convulvulus tricolor) and know that varieties of the species are invasive but I'm not sure if this is one that is or isn't.

Is dwarf morning glory invasive?
Depending on your growing zone, this can be incredibly invasive. Convolvulus is a close relative of bindweed, and bindweed is a total thug. I once grew morning glories in SC and had them coming up in the yard for years. On the other hand, I grow them in Ohio and they do not persist. If you live in an area that gets hard frosts you're probably okay.
