Not hard to grow, the hard part is after you plant it , it takes about 4 years for it to produce enough that you can start freezing for winter. It still grows wild here along all the ditch banks but we don't need to go and do that any more. Nice having our own little plot. Don't think it would grow well in container as it turns leafy and feathery sort of at the plants season end and those new little seeds root themselves in the soil so it will produce more plants.
