passion flower vines

Is there a well-mannered passionflower vine that will be nice, not a thug, no reseeding, no sprouting all over the neighborhood, in zone 8a, flowering in a part sun situation? I don't want to ruin my relationship with my neighbors when I plant one on the fence. Is there such a passie?

I'm also in 8a and received a lot of great insights on this GW thread: Maypop aggressiveness: do leaf lobes matter?

Gist was there did not seem to be one that had large/prominent flowers, would not spread aggressively, and was reliably zone 8a hardy. We ended up planting Passiflora lutea (small flowers/less aggressive) and have been happy with it. It has returned stronger from each of the past four winters.
