Lavender Lineage Group

The Lavender Lineage Group encompasses cannabis cultivars historically linked to lavender-forward aromatic profiles, often tracing back to breeding work in the 1990s–2000s that intentionally selected for floral terpene expression. Lineage records frequently report crosses involving Lavender (a phenotype of Super Skunk) as a foundational parent, contributing to the group's characteristic sweet, herbal, and sometimes spicy aromatic signatures. Breeders working within this category often emphasize terpene combinations featuring linalool, caryophyllene, and myrcene. The family includes numerous F1 and stabilized cultivars developed across North America and Europe, with notable genetic diversity despite shared aromatic markers. This group remains of interest to breeders seeking to maintain or intensify floral terpene profiles in hybrid programs.

Breeders select Lavender Lineage parents for stable floral terpene inheritance and for crossing with pungent or diesel-leaning cultivars to create balanced aromatic expressions. The group's genetics have been used to introduce linalool-rich phenotypes into modern commercial and craft breeding projects.
