You know I tried Chippendale and Old Mexico last year for some of the rustic colored ones and although they weren't bad, I just decided I didn't prefer those colors in zinnias. Actually I have some rudbeckia with those same colors and prefer solid colored flowers in those - but that's just me.
Bdale - I don't really have much technical information for you, because zinnias are annuals it does allow me to try 7 or 8 new ones every year so I do have opinions and observations.
I do prefer all the flowers in a cultivar to all have the same form. Here is a shot of Lavender Gem that has singles and doubles. The doubles are nice and I wish they all were.
