Kikuyu grass

On another list, there has been a discussion about Kikuyu grass which evidently is gong to be used for a low water lawn adjacent to a famous Frank Lloyd Wright home in the Los Angeles area. List members that live in the northern part of the state weighed in their concern, saying that kikuyu is extremely invasive in their region. It is listed on the Invasive Pest Council's site as having "limited" invasiveness.

I'd be interested in the experiences of people in Southern California regarding this grass. This project is likely to get quite a bit of press and I'd hate for gardeners in the region to be misled into thinking Kikuyu is a good choice if it isn't.

Thanks
