If this is the same plant as Japanese Knotweed in UK (as it sounds like) it should not be grown at any costs. It is a serious invasive weed which has taken over large areas in the UK and seems almost impossible to kill even with herbicides. A particular problem in areas were the ground is not cultivated or mown and I have seen it push up through concrete foundations when an old industrial area was rebuilt. I would suggest it is best not grown, just imagine a 20' weed that herbicides will not kill.
