The double-flowering trait in Zinnia x marylandica is classified into qualitative categories as single, semi-double, or fully double, serving as a determining factor for the market value of cultivar series.
In the reference 4 varieties crop Zinnia x marylandica D. M. Spooner et al., where this is mentioned in the description.
For Zinnia x marylandica, double-flowering is an important breeding trait that is visually assessed and divided into three main categories: single, semi-double, and fully double inflorescence types. The presence of fully double flowers serves as a key characteristic for distinguishing commercial cultivar series, such as Double Zahara, from forms with a looser flower head structure.
Unlike other Zinnia species, the expression of double-flowering in Zinnia x marylandica does not correlate with reduced resistance to pathogens. Due to the genetic characteristics of this interspecific hybrid, a high degree of inflorescence fullness does not negatively affect the overall heat tolerance and resistance to fungal diseases characteristic of this crop.
