If it is indeed a member of the mint family (I couldn't find definitive info), plant it in a pot. Mint is notoriously invasive; put it in the ground and you'll never be rid of it. (Nor will your neighbors.)

Tagetes is the genus name of the marigold (the seed's alternate name actually says "Mexican marigold". Marigolds usally are particualrly invasive (they're usally annuals relying on seed to propigate themselves) Wed May 27 17:30:17 -0700 2009 4719895 24492 jumpingmonk 3 4986591 You can get seeds on the internet at Horizon Herbs http://www.horizonherbs.com/product.asp?specific=573 . Plants can be purchased at Companion Plants http://companionplants.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=770 . They are very easy to grow if you have a warm spot with full sun. They do grow big, but is not invasive. It is also good for the soil and are very good to plant near carrots to get rid of nematodes that attack root crops.

I though the flavor was unique and not really very mint like. Mon Oct 12 05:46:39 -0700 2009 4717902 71215 mlgb
