Mint or Bachelor Buttons: Which will dominate?

April 20, 2008: After 1 week

As I started my Spring planting last Monday, I found seeds for Mint and Bachelor Buttons in my pile of unused seeds from last year. Neither of these plants grew so well last year, so I wasn't too interested in trying to grow them again this year, but I did have a pot full of soil that I wanted to plant something in, so I planted them.

All of the seeds in one pot – roughly one half Mint, the other half Bachelor Buttons.

Mint has the reputation of taking over gardens, and Bachelor Buttons also grow like weeds in the right conditions, so I figure both plants have the potential to take over the pot. The question of the summer will be... which plants will dominate the pot?
