The Zinnia elegans Swizzle Scarlet & Yellow thrives in sunny light conditions, making it an ideal choice for flower beds, borders, or containers that receive ample sunlight. However, it is important to note that this variety does not do well in poor soils. A well-drained soil with moderate fertility is essential to help these flowers reach their full potential.

When it comes to moisture requirements, the Zinnia elegans Swizzle Scarlet & Yellow prefers well-drained soil. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other moisture-related issues, so it's important to strike a balance. Regular watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, is the key to maintaining healthy plants.
