Disco Glitter

Disco Glitter is a hybrid that puts sweet basil and licorice under the party lights. Also known as King Cake and King’s Cake, it pairs a colorful appearance with an herbal aroma that gives the pastry name a savory twist. The name changed, but the flower kept its flair.

Oregon’s Golden Beaver Farms developed the cross from Ken’s Granddaddy Purple and Mystic Gem. Originally released as Disco Glitter, it later took the King Cake name, a nod to the purple, green, and yellow associated with the Mardi Gras pastry. The purple family resemblance earns its place in the story; the basil-and-licorice nose supplies the plot twist.

The Disco Glitter strain leads with sweet herbs and anise, backed by earthy depth. Basil brings a fresh, leafy sweetness, while licorice adds a darker, lingering spice. Together, those notes give the flower a distinctive aromatic signature. King Cake may suggest the bakery, but this jar keeps one foot in the herb garden.

Fans who twist it up after work describe an uplifting, creative head change alongside a relaxing body feel. Mental lift and physical ease share the session, giving the experience a more settled rhythm than the Disco Glitter name might suggest. The sparkle is upstairs; the rest of the body gets to sit this dance out.
