No, not invasive adding only a few stems a year.
They are narrow at the base and full at the top. I add a cage for support since the rain makes the blooms very heavy.

I like them with daylilies/iris because they add more color & height. The color can be light pink to rose to fuscia to lavender to white. Very tough. Only downfall is mildew--need lots of air. I put them at the back of my fence rows or the edge of my deep beds. I thin to 4-6 stems per clump to give more air. They're tall, old fashioned & I love them.

I f you deadhead, they'll bloom from July to frost.
