About Purple Urkle
A Californian indica of uncertain origin, best known as a parent of Granddaddy Purple.
Purple Urkle is usually described as a selection from Mendocino Purps, though the account is not firmly established.
Its deep colouring and grape aroma made it valuable as a breeding parent well beyond its own popularity.
