If you appreciate small, delicate-looking flowers, this is the zinnia for you. The narrow-petaled blossoms are less noticeable from a distance than other zinnias, but they are intruiguing close up and nice for flower arrangements.
Zinnia 'Red Spider' is an heirloom variety that has been grown in gardens since the early nineteenth century. The plants are tall and narrow, so plant something short and bushy in front like Zinnia 'Persian Carpet'.
