-I just made up a large herb pot and most of the herbs are edible, basile, cilantro etc. but I put some sweet annie into the pot (I know it is not edible) but I recently read that it is toxic, is there any danger of having it in a pot with herbs I plan to eat (if I of course don't try and eat the Sweet Annie?
I don't know who told you that Sweet Annie is poisonious, but here's a site that tells about the herb. It's used for malaria.

You may not have room in your pot for the sweet annie. My sweet annie grows 3 to 4 feet tall.
