Any experience with these zinnias? Profusion vs Crystal

I love zinnias and have finally talked myself into trying some from seed, even though I barely have enough sun. I'll have to tuck them into my window boxes which hang off my railings, so I would like some that trail and don't get too big.

Years ago I grew Crystal White zinnias. I remember they did amazing in a window box, but their flowers are not very large. I was looking at Profusion Apricot zinnias as something which has larger flowers.

Any thoughts on either of these? Do the profusion zinnias actually trail or do they form a bush? it looks like they make a bush, and in that case, they may not be what I need even if I really want them.

They would be tucked into 18x6x6 boxes between strawberries or herbs (depends on the box). So something that makes a giant mound really wouldn't fit no matter how much I was trying to get those classic zinnia flowers.
