Sarkanīgais raspodiņš

Šī ziemciete nav īpaši izvēlīga attiecībā uz augsni, taču tai visvairāk piemērota mālaina, trūdvielām bagāta un labi drenēta augsne. Svarīgi, lai augsne spētu saglabāt mitrumu, bet vienlaikus nebūtu pastāvīgi pārmitrināta, kas varētu izraisīt sakņu pūšanu. Pirms stādīšanas ieteicams augsni uzlabot ar kompostu, kas sniegs barības vielas un uzlabos augsnes struktūru.

Yes, thanks to its compact growth (up to 30 cm), the red-footed lady's mantle is an excellent choice for growing in containers and troughs. Choose a pot with drainage holes and ensure regular watering, as soil in pots dries out faster than in open ground. It looks great in combination with annuals or other perennials in window boxes.

Sarkanstiebru rasaskrēsliņš (Alchemilla erythropoda) ir ļoti pielāgotspējīga daudzgadīgā puķe, kurai vislabāk patīk saulaina vieta vai pusēna. Lai gan tā pacieš arī tiešu sauli, tādā gadījumā ir nepieciešams nodrošināt pietiekamu un regulāru laistīšanu, lai lapas neapdegtu. Ideālas vietas stādīšanai ir:

• Alpināriji un spraugas starp akmeņiem
• Dobju malas (kā apmales augs)
• Kā apakšstāva augs zem augstākām ziemcietēm vai rozēm

Ja dārzā ir vairāk ēnains stūrītis, rasaskrēsliņš tur augs, taču ziedēs nedaudz mazāk intensīvi.

No, protection is not necessary. The red-footed lady's mantle is fully hardy down to -28 °C (zone 5a). It is a resilient mountain plant that handles our winters without any problems. In autumn, the plant dies back (the leaves wither) and sprouts again from its roots in the spring.

Sarkanstiebru rasaskrēsliņam patīk mēreni mitra augsne (mitrums 💧💧). Laistīšanu pielāgojiet laikapstākļiem un novietojumam:

• Saulē: Laistiet regulārāk, augsnei nevajadzētu pilnībā izžūt.
• Pusēnā: Laistīšana var būt retāka.

Kopumā augs panes īslaicīgu sausumu, taču ilgstoša iekaltēšana tam nenāk par labu, un lapas var sākt vīst.

Yes, pruning is very beneficial. We recommend performing a hard prune immediately after flowering. By doing this, you will:

1. Prevent the plant from unwanted self-seeding in the surrounding area.
2. Encourage the growth of new, fresh leaves that will decorate the garden until autumn.
3. Often stimulate the plant to a second, albeit weaker, flowering at the end of the summer.

The plant will delight you with its flowers from May to July. It creates a flood of tiny blossoms in a lime-yellow to greenish color. This color is very fresh and popular in floristry because it pairs well with almost all other colors and beautifully complements them.

This is a compact, low-growing species of lady's mantle. It reaches a height of only 15 to 30 cm, making it an ideal plant for the front of flower beds or for rock gardens. It forms dense, low cushions that stay close to the ground and look very neat.

That is one of the 'magical' properties of the lady's mantle. Its leaves are covered in fine hairs and have a special surface structure that causes the so-called lotus effect. Water does not soak in, but instead forms perfectly round droplets that shimmer on the leaves like pearls or diamonds. This is often morning dew or water pushed out by the plant itself.

Sarkanstiebru rasaskrēsliņš (Alchemilla erythropoda) ir sīkāka un elegantāka versija savam lielākajam radiniekam – mīkstajam rasaskrēsliņam (Alchemilla mollis). Galvenā atpazīšanas zīme ir tā sarkanīgi krāsotie stiebri (no kurienes arī radies nosaukums), kas veido skaistu kontrastu ar pelēkzaļajām lapām. Lapas ir arī nedaudz mazākas un dziļāk šķeltas.

Nē, sarkanstiebru rasaskrēsliņš nav indīgs. Gluži pretēji, tas tiek uzskatīts par ēdamu augu, un tautas medicīnā rasaskrēsliņus parasti izmanto (galvenokārt lakstus). Tāpēc to bez bažām varat stādīt dārzā, kur uzturas bērni, suņi vai kaķi.

To create a nice, dense cover, we recommend a spacing of 30 cm. This corresponds to approximately 9 to 12 plants per m². If you are planting them as an edging for a path or flower bed, plant them at intervals of about 25–30 cm apart.

Lady's mantle is a very social plant. Its yellow-green flowers form a neutral background for more vibrant colors. It pairs perfectly with:

• Roses (a classic English combination)
• Catmint (Nepeta)
• Salvia (Salvia)
• Cranesbill (Geranium)
• Peonies

Its foliage also nicely covers up unsightly bare spots left by spring-flowering bulbs after they have finished blooming.

Mums jums ir labas ziņas – sarkanstiebru rasaskrēsliņš ir ļoti izturīgs augs, kas neslimo ar kaitēkļiem un slimībām. Tā ir bezrūpīga ziemciete, kurai nebūs nepieciešami miglojumi vai sarežģīta aizsardzība. Vienīgais, kas to var apgrūtināt, ir ilgstošs sausums (lapu kalšana) vai, pretēji, pastāvīga pārmitrināšana.

The simplest method of propagation, which anyone can handle, is division. The ideal time is early spring (before the plant fully shoots) or in autumn. Simply dig up an older clump with a spade, divide it into smaller sections (each must have roots and buds), and replant immediately. The plant will also self-seed in the garden if you do not remove the spent flower heads.

Definitely! Lady's mantle (Alchemilla) is highly valued in floristry.

• Fresh flowers: They stay fresh in a vase for a long time and add airiness and volume to bouquets.
• Drying: The flower heads are easy to dry. Simply hang them 'upside down' in a dark, airy place. Dried flowers retain their color and look great in winter arrangements and wreaths.
