The Red Spider Zinnia intrigues and captivates with its spider-like blooms: its thread-like, recurved petals form intense red corollas, above a bronze-yellow center typical of zinnias. Its striking appearance brings a unique contrast to colorful flowerbeds, flowering vegetable gardens, and gardens that value diversity and pollinating plants.

Originating from Zinnia tenuiflora , an ancient species from Mexico, this annual variety reaches approximately 60 cm in height, with an upright, branching habit and narrow, matte green foliage. Its flowering period extends from summer until the first frosts, sometimes even into October if the soil remains favorable.

In a harmonious garden, it finds its place among aromatic herbs, wild perennials, or native plants, where it supports active biodiversity. Its simple yet abundant flowering attracts bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects, making it an ecological choice that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is effective.
