Fragrant butterfly bushes?

I have two, what I believe is a 'Tutti Frutti' (modern compact/dwarf) and a more old school 'White Profusion' that I'm rearing in a pot for my grandmother. I love the longer flowers that actually attract butterflies of White Profusion but oddly enough its fragrance is much less than that of the other which smells like honey.


I want one that has long flowers of White Profusion but is still pretty fragrant. BTW it will be in a pot because I have nematodes. Butterfly bushes are good early season nectar here which bloom before my milkweeds, coneflowers, and porterweeds. I prefer lilac "blue" and pink ones over other colors but I'm flexible as long as its not red.


I was thinking of Ellen's Blue but I was not sure how good its fragrance is.
