Grow them in pots and sink the pots into the substrate so you can swap them out for recovery time!

They are the pelargonium type - feed in moderation. They are safe to use. My only experience is from Joe bulldozing a pot of them and eating the lot in about an hour. At that point, I put them on the "edible, but no point having them unless they're in a hanging basket" list

If you bought the plant, it might be full of systemic pesticides. Something else to consider.
