What a magnificent display! Thank you for sharing.

What variety has the variegated leaves? All your pictures are beautiful, I enjoyed seeing them.

Like Brenda @breith95, I've had some problems with powdery mildew. In 2020 I planted a dozen Dreamland Pink plants. They performed beautifully as an edging about 15" tall along a walk. Everyone would ask "those are Zinnias"? They didn't get powdery mildew. The next year I grew Dreamland Pink from seeds. They grew and bloomed well at first, then were done in by PM. The next year I tried growing Magellan Pink from seeds and planted them in a different area. They too were beautiful at first and then succumbed to PM. Last year I didn't grow any.

This year I grew 3 colors of Zahara plus Double White Profusion as edgers. So far no PM but it's early yet.

I especially like the Double Zahara Raspberry Ripple. Picture of the seedling tray below. The flowers are about 2" across. The plants are about 6" tall here. The variations in color are fun.
