Description
Le Philadelphus ‘Starbright’ est une variété de seringat hybride qui se distingue d’abord par ses jeunes pousses teintées de pourpre bronze, bien différentes du feuillage vert habituel des autres variétés. En fin de printemps ou en début d'été, de grandes fleurs blanches toutes simples s’ouvrent sur des calices brun pourpré presque noirs. Leur parfum intense, proche de celui de la fleur d’oranger, se diffuse autour de l’arbuste. Vigoureux, florifère et rustique jusqu’à -25 °C, ce cultivar canadien est une excellente plante de haie libre ou de grand massif arbustif.
Ce seringat, ou jasmin des poètes, appartient à la famille des Hydrangéacées. Il est issu du croisement entre une forme à calice sombre du Philadelphus delavayi, une espèce asiatique, et le P. lewisii. Nord-américain. Wilf Nicholls l’a obtenu en 1995 au Jardin botanique de l’Université Memorial, à Terre-Neuve, au Canada. 'Starbright’ montre une croissance rapide. Il forme un arbuste dense, au port dressé et buissonnant, qui atteint 2,50 à 3 m de hauteur pour près de 2 m d’envergure à l’âge de dix ans. D’abord dressées, ses branches s’écartent progressivement au fil des années et donnent à la végétation plus d'ampleur. Des dimensions qui le placent parmi les grands seringats. Ses branches sombres portent des feuilles simples, opposées, ovales et finement dentées. Au débourrement, les jeunes feuilles et les nouvelles tiges prennent des tons pourpres, bronze et cuivrés. Cette coloration, particulièrement visible avant et pendant la floraison, s’atténue lorsque les feuilles mûrissent : le feuillage devient alors vert soutenu. Ce feuillage est caduc, il tombe en automne. La floraison a lieu en mai-juin. Les boutons floraux, également teintés de pourpre, peuvent être plus ou moins colorés selon les régions et la météo printanière. Rassemblées en petits bouquets, les fleurs simples atteignent 5 cm de diamètre. Elles comptent quatre larges pétales blanc pur disposés autour d’un bouquet d’étamines jaunes. Au plein épanouissement, leur forme évoque une étoile et laisse apparaître le calice brun pourpré, parfois presque noir. Le parfum des fleurs, puissant, rappelle la fleur d’oranger. Il est particulièrement perceptible par temps calme et doux. Les fleurs sont visitées par les insectes pollinisateurs. Cet hybride est stérile et ne donne pas de fructification. Une fois les fleurs fanées, son feuillage vert forme une masse dense et discrète jusqu’à l’automne.
Plantez ce Philadelphus 'Starbright' comme il vous plaira, en haie libre ou bien taillée, en isolé ou en massif associé à d’autres arbustes et vivaces. Mais pour profiter de ce parfum exceptionnel, rapprochez-le des lieux de passage. Il s’associe avec de nombreux arbustes de vigueur comparable, pour échelonner les floraisons au fil des saisons. On peut choisir le Viburnum × bodnantense ‘Dawn’, le Syringa vulgaris ‘Président Grévy’, le Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Diabolo’ et l’Hydrangea paniculata ‘Kyushu’. Les fleurs roses, mauves et blanches composent un ensemble doux, relevé par les feuillages bronze ou pourpres, puis l’hortensia prend le relais en été.

Planting and care
Planting of Philadelphus ‘Starbright’ takes place from September to November or from February to April, when there is no frost, in full sun or light partial shade. An ordinary, deep, well-drained soil is enough for it, even clayey or chalky, but growth and flowering are better when the soil remains moist in spring. In a Mediterranean climate, September and October, after the rains return, are the best planting times. Partial shade is also more favourable. Regular watering is necessary during the first two summers; once established, the shrub tolerates summer drought quite well. A mulch helps retain soil moisture. In an informal hedge, spacing of 1.50 to 2 m gives each plant room to develop.

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.
