Hi Kettish, I just thought I would give you some food for thought. My pink butterfly bush reseeded itself, and when the resulting seedlings bloomed (the same season I might add) they ended up being slightly different color variations of lavender/purple. Out of about 8 that bloomed, there was not a pink one among the bunch. If you are really wanting a dark purple one, you may have to end up either getting cuttings or an actual plant. Happy Trading.
