I can't say much about it at the moment: the young plant is very small, so I'm waiting for the shoot to grow...

Description
Buddleia davidii Butterfly Dream® White ('Minpap2'), also known as Buddleja davidii Rêve de Papillon White ('Minpap2'), is a recent variety distinguished by its flowering in huge panicles, 20 cm to 30 cm (7.9 in to 11.8 in) long, with white flowers that are slightly fragrant and honey-scented, blooming regularly from July to September! Unlike the species, this cultivar has an exceptionally dense, compact, rounded habit, with little bareness from the base, making it easy to use as a border or standalone plant. Its initially upright branches arch under the weight of the inflorescences. Its grey-green, almost silver, lanceolate foliage perfectly complements the light colours of its flowers. Versatile, drought-resistant, and tolerant of various soil conditions, it is suitable even for pots or small gardens.
The Butterfly Dream series of buddleias was developed by Minier nurseries in the 2000s and includes hybrids resulting from cross-breeding with B. 'Lochinch', which are particularly compact, vigorous, and floriferous varieties. Buddleia davidii Butterfly Dream® White ('Minpap2'), introduced in 2007, is a variant with white flowers. Like all butterfly bushes, it belongs to the Scrophulariaceae family.
Buddleia davidii Butterfly Dream® White will not exceed 1.5 m (4.9 ft) in all directions. This variety develops a compact and dense vegetation from the base, with short branches that quickly form a densely leafy dome. The foliage is semi-evergreen, remaining on the branches throughout the winter in mild climates but deciduous in colder regions. It consists of slightly villous elliptical leaves measuring approximately 8 cm to 10 cm (3.1 in to 3.9 in) long and 3 cm to 4 cm (1.2 in to 1.6 in) wide, in a beautiful grey-green, almost silver colour that enhances the flowers. The plant flowers from July to September, for 3 months. Emerging from the foliage are panicles of flowers, 30 cm to 40 cm (11.8 in to 15.7 in) long. These flowers are white with a yellow throat and release a light honey scent that is highly sought after by pollinators. They fade discreetly and do not require pruning. This very hardy bush does not suffer from occasional drought in deep soil. When grown in pots, it will require regular watering and some fertiliser to support its growth and flowering.
Buddleia davidii Butterfly Dream® White is a small bush that easily finds its place in the garden, even in limited space. It is perfect in a large pot on a terrace. It integrates easily at the front of a perennial or shrub border and looks good along a pathway. Its combination with ground cover roses, dwarf abelias, pink coneflowers, and asters is interesting for animating borders until the end of summer.

Planting and care
It is easy to grow, as it is a low-maintenance plant, hardy and not very water-demanding. It thrives in sunny locations, but also flowers in partial shade. Plant it in spring or early autumn, in any type of soil, even poor and limestone, but well-prepared, well-tilled and properly drained. Once well-established in the ground, the plant can tolerate periods of moderate drought. However, if grown in a pot or container, make sure to water it regularly and provide fertilisers for flowering bushes. The buddleia has no significant enemies. However, beware of caterpillars, weevils, bugs and red spider mites that can invade it under certain conditions. Pruning vigorously after flowering and/or in early spring keeps the habit compact and encourages the bush to produce numerous flowers.

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).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
