Description
Le Spiraea vanhouttei, également appelé Spiraea x vanhouttei, ou encore Spirée de Van Houtte, est un arbuste caduc de taille moyenne très vigoureux, au port élégant, érigé puis retombant en arceaux, qui s'habille d'un feuillage vert bleuté et offre une floraison massive en guirlandes blanches au printemps. Le spectacle prend fin en automne, lorsque le feuillage se pare de jaune orangé. Cet arbuste fiable, au succès mérité, est très polyvalent et de culture facile, tout en se montrant d'une incroyable générosité.
La Spirée de Vanhoutte appartient à la famille des Rosacées. C'est un hybride issu du croisement entre Spiraea cantionensis d'origine chinoise et Spiraea trilobata originaire de Mongolie. La croissance de cet arbuste est assez rapide, plus ou moins en fonction des conditions de culture. Sa taille adulte atteindra facilement 2 m en tous sens.
La Spiraea x Vanhouttei possède un port dense, pleureur, d'abord érigé puis retombant en arceau. La floraison, abondante, a lieu entre mai et fin juin selon le climat. Elle couvre l'arbuste d'innombrables petits bouquets blancs, en corymbes aplatis de 5 cm de diamètre constitués de petites fleurs simples. Elles attirent de nombreux insectes et papillons. Les branches érigées et dressées portent des rameaux arqués. Le feuillage est vert bleuté, composé de petites feuilles alternes, simples, découpées, en forme de losange de 4 cm de long. Cette spirée se pare de teintes jaunes à orangées en automne.
La Spirée vanhouttei est surtout utilisée en isolé, en haie libre ou en massif pour la beauté de sa floraison et l'élégance de son port. Elle s'associera avec bonheur avec d'autres grands arbustes à floraison estivale, dans un massif ou pour garnir un grand talus. Associez-la à d'autres spirées de printemps, au Deutzia 'Mont Rose', au seringat Philadelphus coronarius, ou au Buddleia 'Lochinch'. Vous pouvez faire grimper une clématite viticella comme Clematis 'Etoile Violette' qui grimpera dans son feuillage et prolongera tout l'été le spectacle de sa floraison.
Cette spirée est la plus connue de toutes. On la voit très souvent utilisée par les paysagistes pour végétaliser les grands talus, aux abords des infrastructures autoroutières, dans l'aménagement d'espaces publics ou privés. Ceci s'explique par les nombreuses qualités de cette plante dont la floraison en fontaine blanche ne cesse jamais d'émerveiller. Autrefois récompensée par un Award of Garden Merit (AGM), la spirée de Van Houtte ne figure plus dans la liste actuelle de la RHS, sans que nous ayons pu en connaître la raison. Une absence que nous regrettons, tant cet arbuste a fait ses preuves dans d'innombrables jardins.

Planting and care
Plant Spiraea vanhouttei in any dry to moist, well-drained soil, preferentially in full sun, or in partial shade. It will adapt to all climates and all soils, but dislikes dense shade. Note that it tolerates drought very well once established. Water well in the first year. Apply a complete fertiliser in March. For an informal hedge, space the plants 120 cm apart when planting.

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.
