Origin & Breeding History: 'Amri Crared' was bred and developed in Gilroy, California, as part of a planned breeding program. The cross took place in October 2003. The female parent was '9779-1', a proprietary line with dark red flowers and the male parent was 9368-1, a proprietary line with violet flowers. The resultant seed from the cross was sown in May 2004. The new variety was selected as a single seedling in August 2004 based on criteria for flower colour, compact habit and light green leaves.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Amri Crared' were conducted in a polyhouse in St. Thomas, Ontario, during the summer of 2008. The trials consisted of 15 plants of each variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings, transplanted into 15 cm pots on May 20, 2008. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on July 18, 2008. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
