Description
Buddleja davidii Rêve de Papillon Violet is a butterfly bush that is distinguished by its abundant, prolonged flowering of intense violet-purple. Its large panicles of slightly fragrant and nectar-rich flowers renew regularly on a bushy and dense plant, with a supple habit and fine foliage, giving a neat appearance. Drought-resistant and accommodating regarding soil, suitable for container growing, it is a versatile and utterly charming bush.
Buddleja davidii 'Rêve de Papillon® Violet' ('SRPBudroy') is a sterile cultivar belonging to the Scrophulariaceae family. This cultivar was obtained by the American breeder Scott C. Trees in 2013. It is part of the Rêve de Papillon® series, developed and introduced in Europe by Pépinières Minier, which includes vigorous, very floriferous cultivars with a compact habit, suited to small gardens and container cultivation. These varieties are notable for their particularly long inflorescences, their floriferousness, and their dense growth, well-branched from the base.
'Rêve de Papillon® Violet' does not produce viable seeds, so it is not invasive unlike some wild forms. It is clearly distinct from the species by its more compact, dense, and bushy habit, with arching branches and harmonious growth. This fast-growing plant can reach 1.8 to 2 m in height and about 1.5 m in width in open ground. In pots, it is generally limited to 1 m - 1.20 m. The spectacular flowering spans from July to September in the form of very elongated terminal panicles, measuring between 20 and 30 cm, composed of very tightly packed small, intense purplish violet, slightly fragrant tubular flowers. These flowers are very rich in nectar, particularly attractive to butterflies, bees, and other pollinating insects. The leaves are opposite, lanceolate, 10 to 20 cm long, dark greyish-green on top, paler and slightly downy underneath. The foliage is deciduous, meaning it falls in autumn and regrows the following spring. The young shoots are quadrangular in section and covered in a fine whitish-grey down; older stems become woody with a brown-grey bark, sometimes fissured. Hardy to approximately -15°C, the cultivar tolerates drought well once established and grows in any well-drained soil, even poor or chalky.
Buddleja davidii Rêve de Papillon Violet excels at the back of a border or in a large container on a sunny terrace. To create a light and refined scene, pair it with bushes offering complementary flowering such as Kolkwitzia amabilis ‘Pink Cloud’, Lagerstroemia indica ‘Neige d'été’ and Hydrangea paniculata ‘Great Star Le Vasterival’. Together, these bushes form a graceful trio, decorative from spring until autumn.

Planting and care
Buddleja Rêve de Papillon® Violet is easy to grow, as it is undemanding in terms of soil, very hardy and not thirsty. It enjoys sunny spots, but also flowers in partial shade in the South. Plant it in spring or early autumn, in ordinary soil, even chalky and poor, but well worked, well loosened and properly drained. Once well established in the ground, the plant will tolerate periods of moderate drought.
On the other hand, if it is grown in a pot or container, you will need to water it regularly and provide fertiliser for flowering bushes.
The buddleja has no significant problems. Nevertheless, beware of caterpillars, vine weevils, bugs and red spider mites that can invade it under certain conditions.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
