Keep in mind when planting that Parthenon is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Parthenon tends to grow best in a soil ph of between 5.6 and 7.5 meaning it does best in weakly acidic soil - weakly alkaline soil.
