Description
L’Agapanthe Pitchoune® Blue se caractérise par son port compact et ses grandes ombelles très bleues, bien dégagées du feuillage. Ses hampes, courtes et solides, résistent mieux au vent que celles des variétés plus hautes. Florifère et peu encombrante, cette variété anime les bordures et les terrasses dès le début de l’été. Son feuillage large, persistant sous climat doux, est assez décoratif en dehors de la floraison.
Le nom de cultivar de cette variété est Agapanthus ‘Scrarey09’ ; Pitchoune® Blue est sa dénomination commerciale. Cette obtention française a été sélectionnée par ASTREDHOR Méditerranée au SCRADH d’Hyères. Elle appartient à la famille des Amaryllidacées. Les espèces à l’origine des agapanthes cultivées sont naturellement présentes en Afrique australe. La plante se développe à partir d’un court rhizome muni de racines épaisses et charnues. Elle forme une touffe dense, haute de 25 à 30 cm avant la floraison et large de près de 50 cm à maturité. Les hampes florales portent sa hauteur totale à 40 ou 60 cm. Les feuilles d'un vert moyen, rubanées, assez larges, sont dressées à la base, puis légèrement arquées. Elles persistent pendant l’hiver dans les régions où les gelées sont peu marquées. Ailleurs, le feuillage peut être brûlé par le froid ou disparaître en partie. La floraison commence en juin et se poursuit en juillet, parfois jusqu’en août dans les régions plus fraîches. Les hampes portent des ombelles arrondies de 10 à 15 cm de diamètre, composées de nombreuses fleurs en trompette. Leur coloris est un bleu soutenu, une ligne médiane plus foncée traverse chaque pétale. Pitchoune® Blue résiste à des températures comprises entre –8 et –10 °C lorsqu’elle est bien établie, installée dans une terre parfaitement drainée et protégée de l’humidité hivernale.
L'Agapanthe Pitchoune® Blue s'utilise au premier plan des massifs ou pour border les allées en climat doux. Dans les régions plus fraiches, elle s'invitera dans de grandes potées sur la terrasse, dans une jolie poterie assez large. Ce mode de culture présente l'avantage de pouvoir la remiser l'hiver. C’est une plante qui se plait en bord de mer, dans un jardin contemporain ou exotique et même dans un petit jardin de ville. Coupées et mises dans un vase, les fleurs apporteront de la fraicheur et beaucoup d'originalité dans la maison. Au jardin, vous pouvez l'associer à l’agapanthe Pitchoune® White, au Tulbaghia violacea ‘Pearl’, à l’hémérocalle miniature ‘Jason Salter’ et au Kniphofia nain ‘Pineapple Popsicle’.

Planting and care
Agapanthus Pitchoune® Blue is planted in spring, after the hard frosts. In Mediterranean regions, September and October are preferable, when the rains return. The stump is covered with 5 to 10 cm of soil, in full sun or partial shade in a warm climate, sheltered from cold winds. A spacing of 40 to 50 cm between each plant is sufficient. It grows in fertile, loose, well-drained soil, whether acid, neutral or alkaline. The soil must not retain water in winter. In clay soil, adding gravel improves drainage. Regular watering is useful during the first two summers and for plants grown in pots. Once established, this variety tolerates summer drought quite well in open ground.
In cold regions, the stump must be protected with a dry mulch, and the pots will be overwintered in a bright, cool, frost-free place. A fertiliser rich in potash encourages flowering. The clump can be divided every three or four years.

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.
