Origin & Breeding History: 'Amri Pur' originated from a hybrid cross made in October 2004, in Gilroy, California, USA. The female parent was a proprietary seedling, designated 10153-1 and the male parent was a proprietary seedling, designated 9843-2. The resultant seed from the cross was sown in a greenhouse in March 2005. In May 2005, a single plant from the progeny was selected based on flower colour, flower quality and plant habit.
Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Amri Pur' were conducted in a polyhouse in St. Thomas, Ontario, during the summer of 2008. The trials consisted of 20 plants of each variety. All plants were grown from rooted cuttings, transplanted into 15 cm pots on June 24, 2008. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plants of each variety on August 22, 2008. All colour measurements were made using the 2001 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
