The Best Purple Cannabis Strains

Purple cannabis strains get their signature color from anthocyanins — the same pigments that make blueberries blue and red cabbage purple. When exposed to cooler temperatures during flowering, these pigments express in stunning shades of violet, lavender, and deep plum. But purple strains aren't just about looks — many deliver exceptional flavor profiles dominated by grape, berry, and floral terpenes alongside effects ranging from deeply sedating indicas to uplifting sativas. This collection features 50 of the most sought-after purple strains available as flower and pre-rolls.

Purple Weed Strains FAQs

Common questions about purple cannabis strains

Purple cannabis strains get their color from anthocyanins, which are natural pigments found in many plants like blueberries, grapes, and eggplant. These pigments are expressed more strongly when plants experience cooler temperatures during the flowering stage. The purple color is genetic — only strains with the right genetics will turn purple regardless of growing conditions.
No, the color of cannabis does not indicate potency. THC and cannabinoid content determine how strong a strain is, not its color. Purple strains can range from mild to extremely potent just like green strains. However, the anthocyanins that create purple coloring often coincide with unique terpene profiles that may influence the overall experience.
Granddaddy Purple (GDP) is widely considered the most iconic purple strain. Bred by Ken Estes in 2003, GDP crosses Purple Urkle and Big Bud to create a strain with deep purple buds, grape and berry flavors, and powerful indica effects. Other hugely popular purple strains include Purple Punch, Purple Kush, and Grape Ape.
Purple strains can be indica, sativa, or hybrid. While many classic purple strains like Granddaddy Purple and Purple Kush are indicas, there are notable purple sativas like Purple Haze and Tropicana Cookies, as well as balanced hybrids like Gelato and Runtz. The purple color comes from genetics, not the strain type.
Many purple strains do have distinct flavor profiles, often featuring grape, berry, and floral notes. This is because the same genetics that produce purple coloring often include terpenes like linalool (floral), myrcene (earthy berry), and caryophyllene (spicy). However, flavor is determined by terpene content, not color alone.
Purple strains commonly contain myrcene (earthy, grape, berry), linalool (floral, lavender), caryophyllene (spicy, peppery), and limonene (citrus). Myrcene and linalool are especially prevalent in indica-dominant purple strains and contribute to their relaxing, sedating effects and fruity-floral aromas.
Some purple strains are beginner-friendly while others are very potent. Strains like Grape Ape and Purple Kush offer manageable, relaxing effects. However, strains like Slurricane and Granddaddy Purple can be quite strong. Beginners should start with a low dose regardless of strain color and choose options with moderate THC levels.
