Tall grasses that are not invasive or grow aggressively?

Hi all. Several years ago I noticed that many of my neighbors had planted pampass grass and thought it looked beautiful swaying in the wind. So I bought a couple and planted them. Now they're huge, taking over the area of my landscaping, and don't look as lovely as they did as young plants. Needless to say, the neighbors' pampass don't look so good either especially those who never cut it back.

I adore tall ornamental grasses, but am afraid of the overgrowth similar to what the pampass has done. Any suggestions? I see so many in the catalogs yet am afraid to buy.

Lastly, would it help to control oversized grasses by using one of those bucket-like planters to go inground that control the root spread?

Thanks so much!
