There are many strains with the word ‘violet’ in their names, and it’s not so much that the color of their buds is reminiscent of these garden flowers but that the smoke they produce has a distinct yet delicate aroma of violets. Some of the violet strains have classic green buds, others are purple, and the latter often feature a delightful taste of grapes in addition to the refined floral aroma. If you enjoy the scent of flower petals in your smoke, be sure to also check out the related categories like rose and lavender – just like violet strains, they also produce high levels of linalool, a terpene with relaxing and calming properties. However, if a violet strain is what you’re after today, you’ll find plenty of those in this category. They are mostly Indicas and hybrids, with an occasional violet-scented Sativa.
