The showiest zinnia to come along in many a year, the Swizzle series gives you huge flowers with concentric circles of color. Swizzle Cherry and Ivory sports giant 3- to 4-inch blooms, packed with petals and completely covering the petite 10- to 12-inch plants. The inner circle of each bloom is fire-engine red, succeeded by a narrow white circle and tipped with a pencil-thin edging of red. It's as if the blooms are bull's-eyes.

Fantastic for cutting, these flowers also make a huge impression in the garden because they are so low to the ground and profuse on neat little plants.  They have a formal look that few zinnias can equal, and they'd be just perfect edging the walkway, marching up the driveway, or beaming from large pots and window boxes.
