Invasive Oxalis? Or, is all Wood Sorrel evil?

I bought and need to plant 50 oxalis adenophylla. Before getting it, I did a search on Garden Forum, PlantFiles, etc. and didn't learn much. Just now, however, I did a search using "wood sorrel," and found lots of bile and hatred for this despicably invasive weed.

Of course, not all species are created equal. Please tell me adenophylla ain't evil!

Brent n' Becky's says it has "beautiful, silvery foliage provides a perfect background for the lilac/purple flowers; this is one of our favorites and makes nice mounds of color in our garden and fills decorative pots in the greenhouse and our porch!"

Nothing there about "invasive."

Should I plant these bulbs? I'm all for "naturalizing," but not when it goes over to the Dark Side of The Force and takes over.

Thanks,

Fred
