Periwinkle, sometimes called Periwinkle Pie, is an evenly balanced hybrid born from a cross of Wedding Pie and Purple Punch. Its name hints at the plant’s striking appearance and the upbeat mood it tends to foster. The buds stand out with a fluffy, oversized, spade-shaped form and a vivid neon-green color threaded with pink and lavender undertones. Thick orange pistils cling to each nug, while a frosty veil of pink-tinted white trichomes gives the whole inflorescence a candy-like glow.
When you break a nug open, the nose swells with a dessert-forward fragrance: sweet sugary berries and ripe grapes mingle with a creamy vanilla backbone and a sly kiss of citrus. The aromatic profile mirrors this complexity, combining creamy vanilla with citrus lift and a panoply of fruity berries and red fruits that linger on the air. On the tongue, the combination translates to a palate where berry and grape flavors ride a smooth vanilla cream with a subtle citrus tang.
The effect unfurls slowly, sweeping the mind into a gentle wave of euphoria that loosens worries and invites sociable, giggly engagement. It’s easy to lose yourself in conversation and laughter, even as the high remains pleasantly hazy and uplifting. With THC content hovering in the mid-teens to around twenty percent, Periwinkle is often sought for relief from stress and anxiety, depression, and mood swings, while also offering comfort for chronic pain, fibromyalgia, and related conditions.
