Wow didn't know that. Sounds like the mint I have almost everywhere in the garden. Too bad I only seem to use 2 bunches of the stuff per year...

The stuff grows like a weed. We planted some (in VA) about 10 years
ago and have never had to do it again. Till the garden in the spring,
plant, till between rows 3-4 weeks later to kill weeds. The Epazote
need a little more heat to germinate. Starts popping up everywhere.
We just let a small patch grow and pull the rest when hand weeding.

Enjoy the heat,
