- Claus Dalby's pots of dahlias and other plants look like a herbaceous border. But it is much easier to switch plants round when they're over. Claus shows you his garden and explains how he chooses plants to create a colourful grouping in pots and how he grows dahlias in pots.

Oh my gosh! I can't get over how beautiful his garden is! I can't get over the colors and shapes of the different dahlias, the foliage plants, and everything else. Typically, I don't like cool tone flowers and dark foliage but he completely changed my mind. This video was very inspirational! I can't wait to grow dahlias next year! Sorry for all the exclamation marks...I'm American.
Thank you!
Me too!! ❤️
Lol, I’m also American and tend to overuse exclamation marks! 😂
So you take out all those hundreds of dahlias and wrap them?
Claus is an artiste - but instead of paints he uses plants :)
His garden is obviously beautiful but the warm hosting style, as if we are visiting him for tea and a chat, is really lovely.
Thanks for showcasing Mr. Claus' stunning garden dear Alexandra! This is a treat to get 2 quality CZcamsrs for the price of one! His container designs are simply classic. Thanks again!
Thank you so much!
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden you are so very welcomed!
What a warm and friendly man. Enjoyed his talk and his garden
What a treat to watch two of my favorite gardeners. Always a joy to see Claus Dalby's garden, it's as special and unique as himself. He is a garden artist!
Thank you! And he is!
I just love Claus Dalby's gardening style! I get so much inspiration from him! His garden feels like a dream land! Thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Dream land indeed!!
I can't believe I have my two most favourite gardeners together what a wonderful Saturday night treat
Claus has such a beautiful ❤️ garden 💐💐 he puts all heart ♥️ in the gardening 🎈🎈 happy to see him... Keep flowering 🌸🌸🏵️🏵️
Thank you so much 😊
Alexandra thank you for doing this and showcasing Dolby’s incredible gardens. I was happy with the information he gave on this video. He showed some tips and techniques which I appreciated. And I appreciate you. Thank you
It's a pleasure, thank you!
Thank you Alexandra and Klaus. Klaus you have the most beautiful garden I think I have ever seen. I love the formality of the hedges against all the beautiful flowers! Thank you again, this was a feast for eyes.
Our pleasure!
Thank you Alexandra, for presenting Claus Dalby's garden and his dahlias. This is exactly the informational nugget I was needing as my bulbs arrive this week. The plants Claus has chosen to companion in his Dahlia Display have offered a list of what I'll seek to enhance my own display of dahlias in pots (here, in south central British Columbia) 🍁
Lovely choice of dahlias with you and your sweater 🧡 Good to see Claus
Thank you! I got them from a friend specially for the video, so it's lovely that you noticed it.
Claus's gardens are incredible and he is such a pleasure to watch and to listen to.
I always wonder how he water and feeds his potted gardens when the pots are in place.
I will ask!
In a video I saw he said he employs two full time gardeners. Easier to take care of pots when one has staff. Plus big pots and cool climate help with water retention so I don’t think his pots need daily watering, perhaps once or twice a week?
@@pansepot1490 Um zone 8 is not a very cool climate!
@@laurieanne9712 Zone just refers to the coldest average temperature, it doesn't measure how warm it gets, which is why it doesn't translate very well outside the US.
Gardening in the UK, we would be zone 8/9 for winter temperatures, but we rarely get hotter than mid 20c in summer (about 75f), similar story in other parts of Europe.
We love Claus!!
Awesome! A really rainy and windy morning here, so what a treat to relax with a cuppa and the wonderful Claus's dahlia tutorial!
Thanks for this collaboration video Alexandra. Claus is definitely a master in container gardening. Sometimes it is hard to believe that you are looking at masses of containers and not borders.
Great video. Thank you. Claus has been my garden hero for many years and I am lucky to have visited his garden several times. It truly is a very special and inspirational place. His talent for making plant combinations is out of this world.
This was absolutely fantastic! So informative and beautiful for the soul. Thank you Alexandra!
It's me again, almost a year later - I grew some dahlias from seed and now I'm winterizing some handsome tubers.
This year I am ready to prepare my pots to plant dahlias. Wish me luck. Again, thank you for instructions.
I hope it all goes well!
Thank you for sharing Claus's video with us, he's always a joy to watch and learn from, just like you Alexander !!!!
Thank you!
My first in my bucket list is to visit his garden! Might be my first and last when I get there since I'd be in heaven already! Thanks for sharing!
CLAUS YOU HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL ROMANTIC GARDEN 🪴, I WISH I COULD BE THERE, IT TAKES ME BACK IN TIME!!!!!! YOUR GARDEN IS SO PERFECT AND PEACEFUL!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!!! 🌸🌸🌸🌺🥀🌺🌺🌺🥀🥀🌹🌻🌻
Thanks so much
Great video thank you! Alexandra I really like the mix of videos you have, including these collaborations. It's both interesting for viewers but shows a real respect for other gardeners style and a generosity of spirit in sharing. I love that. Thank you :-)
Thank you!
Lovely video! Claus has such good energy and such a beautiful garden. 😊
Beautiful, quintessentially Northern European garden, feasting on the richness of colour. Excellent tour. Thank you!
The Butcher of Lyon has mellowed…
Amazing garden. Dahlia Fasination is lovely.
It is. And I feel that I now don't have enough dahlias
Wow! Impressive! Such a happy space!
It really is!
So wonderful to see Claus Dalby’s beautiful potted garden on your channel. 💚
Thank you so much!
Delightful to meet Claus and his dahlias.
Thank you very much for such wonderful collaboration video. I follow both of the channels and to me it’s like ‘strawberry and clotted cream’ perfect combination of tips, ideas and inspiration 🙏🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Thanks for featuring Mr Dalby, I watched his first English speaking video and have ever since. I hope your viewers check it out, they won't be disappointed. I'd love to see a tour of your garden too. Curious about how the front garden is coming along.
Thank you. I'm musing over the front garden, which isn't working out (I don't think), but I will certainly include my musings either in the next video coming up or the one after that.
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden
Great, I really do look forward to seeing it. Even if it's not what you had hoped, could be some of ours aren't either.
Claus made me smile - what a lovely friendly and knowledgeable guy, I love how he introduced his dog 🐕 too 😊. Oh and what a stunning garden 🏡
Two great channels in one video!!
Thank you!
I subscribe to you both just love what you both give to us gardeners!! From pensacola fl USA zone 8/9
Mr. Dalby, this is THE most beautiful private garden ever! Stunning! Purple and chartreuse do look fantastic together...
Thank you! I love Claus. I wish I could live at his home. I'd happily be his errand-person.
The best of both worlds! I wonder how he deals with Lily Beetles, because his Lilium 'Purple Marble' didn't seem to have any holes in the leaves, nor the nasty gunk of their eggs. Thank you for introducing us to Claus. I'll definitely go and look at more of his gardening vlogs - but I shan't abandon you, Alexandra :)
Thank you!
Fabulous tips! I have 45 dahlias I plant out on 3 terraces every May. (Slugs eat the lot if I leave them in) - I learnt a lot in this video about the importance of combining foliage colour. I fill gaps with cosmos but I love the use of cleomes in Klaus’ display . I’ve grown them before and they last all summer, well into the autumn.
Amazing house, amazing garden, amazing greenhouse - heaven on earth. He has real vision. What a treat this was!
the music while showing the dahlias brought a tear to my eye,so beautiful. I'm plagued by vine weevils in my pots since 2020, and it's so disheartening as I love pots due to my clay soil.
What a great watch; just inspirational. One of your best yet, Alexandra.
Thank you!
Our dog…he is also a gardener..digging holes.. ha ha how lovely!
Those Dahlia with the really dark stem and leaves look absolutely stunning, will be growing some next year for sure
I could listen to you all day talk about plants. 👌💕
I love seeing this. My mother played the piano and many of the songs played on his videos. We always had tea every afternoon.
So beautiful and so very interesting and helpful 👍🏻💗
Thanks so much 😊
This is the most wholesome video I am ever seen.
I really enjoy this video. It's quite inspiring. Thank you Alexandra for featuring Claus Dalby!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Alexandra, You find the most wonderful and clear-spoken gardeners. Thank you. Great information and inspiration, of course.
How absolutely delightful is this display 🇦🇺
Just speechless it is so beautiful!
What a master of variety, color, shape and texture! The contrasts are stunning 🌺
Thankyou for sharing your wonderful garden.
I love Claus's garden....It always looks amazing! God bless
Thanks so much
I would love you supports for many of my taller plants! Please patent and get it to the US market!
Claus is a really amiable host and his garden is just beautiful. Thank you so much for this.
LOVED THIS Video!
Just stunning and dreamy!
Wonderful. I was going to ask what the dark foliage plants are around the chartreuse ones, as they bring each other to life of course, but taking a second look, I think that most of them are dark leafed dahlias, yes?
I find Claus's gardens absolutely thrilling. Container gardening has a kind of flexibility that you cannot really get otherwise. And Claus is a master at it. But I'm a little bit of two minds about gardens that largely depend on containers (which I realize are only some of Claus's, and also the "bones" of his garden rooms are in the ground). For me, as stunning as it can be, if it were the major part of my garden, I would miss the sort of history that comes from plants grown in the ground, how they mature through the years, how they may want to be moved, even how they may need to be taken out. I wonder if other feel similarly.
Yes, I think the dark leaves are 'Bishop of Oxford' and other dark dahlias. I think you have an interesting point, especially if a garden was only pots - it might feel a bit temporary, but I think Claus's mix of pots and permanent planting is very interesting, because, for example, I think all his hydrangeas are in the ground. And I love what he's done with trees - I'd just love an 'umbrella' hornbeam....
This man's garden design is amazing 😮 wow i dream of my garden looking like this this video is very helpful because its giving my the information that will help me. So thank you so much And i love that Beautiful fur BABY I'm sure she's a wonderful garden helper. 🐕🐕
Stunning planting and excellent music❤
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you!
Lovely, lovely dahlias - but where oh where are his slugs and snails??? They consume everything in my garden .
I will ask him. I think it's slightly easier to keep slugs and snails at bay in pots, but they are cunning creatures (round here anyway).
I read if you circle your plant with copper wire slugs will not cross it…worth a try
I collected a few plastic yogurt containers and filled them with a tablespoon of flour, .5 teaspoon of yeast and filled the contained half way with water.
Hidden under leaves, set against the side of the house and rocks or large pots... Works great!! Cover them and cut holes in the lids if rain, pets or other insects getting trapped, are a problem! If the area is especially infested, Corry's brand slug and snail killer works great. Spread around young plants and where the creatures may hide, will help keep them under control!
Get some chickens.. They will eat the slugs and snails..
@marysimpson5651 . Also copper tape stuck round the pot . Near the top so you don't see it so much . Also acts as a barrier. Easy to find , at garden centres and probably amazon . I've also used woollen pellets, put all round the plants, they couldn't cross that .
I also store empty stacked pots outside in the winter and they will hibernate in those , so you can take the pots apart find the snails , slugs and squash them, the birds will eat them, and the shells . K
Your Dahlias are just lovely! 🌻👩🏼🌾
Again, just beautiful. Thanks. Claus.
One of the most interesting and useful videos from your channel Alexandra. Thank you to you and Claus for putting this together.
This garden is paradise,
I would walk around it in a dream like state
Simply beautiful.
Simply beautiful! I love dahlias
What a lovely pleasant man, his garden is beautiful. I planted dahlias for the first time this year. They came up, lots of foliage, but never flowered and I’ve just realised watching that perhaps I planted too deep in the pot. I made the same mistake with a peony I planted. Thanks so much for this video.
It may also be too early - my dahlias are only just beginning to flower, so give them a few more weeks. And also give them some feed, if you haven't already. An all-purpose plant feed is fine, just follow the instructions of whatever brand you have or buy.
@@TheMiddlesizedGarden thank you 🙏🏻
Epic quilt Kate❤so pleased you've found a balance that suits you❤
Breathtaking! His textures and colors are just stunning💕
Thanks for sharing.
I loved every minute of this video! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very inspired!!! Just so gorgeous beautiful flowers 👌🏽
Wonderful video! Claus I ❤️ your supports. I would purchase those! Thank you for the nice information.
What a treat! Thank you. Dalias my favorite!
So beautiful.
Thanks for sharing. I discovered Claus a little while ago and enjoy his garden very much.💕
Just beautiful, thank you.
Thank you, Claus is so talented.
Wow! Thank you for sharing his channel. I am more into tropical planting, but looking at his videos is just wonderful!
Gorgeous, gorgeous garden. I also live in zone 8 only in Texas, USA. I can't imagine how much watering all those pots take. But they are lovey to behold. Thank you for the information.
Thank you!
Wow! Amazing display. Such a pleasure to see and inspiring! Thank you for sharing this!☺️🌺
Thank you so much Alexandra for sharing
It's such a pleasure to see you on The Middle-sized Garden, thank you
Brilliant .
Delightful and informative....Well done and thank you : )
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a treat, two of my favourite channels interacting! 😃
Glad you enjoy it!
Wonderful, Absolutely Beautiful! So much fun to see...thank you for always introducing us to such great lovers of plants!
You changed my life.....I am not an experienced gardener but am soaking up every bit of knowledge I can get. I'm happiest when I'm kneeling in the dirt planting flowers. I have been disappointed the last few years that none of my Dahlias have come up after planting them in the front flower garden the past few years. This year I found out what has been happening with them. The bulbs were all squishy and rotted out. I live in the Seattle/Tacoma area and after watching this video I had an "Ah-ha" moment and now am going to plant them in containers! My soil is too wet and they drowned after certain times of the year when we get a lot of rain. Now I just need to learn how to transport them into bigger pots until they can be put outside in their final pot for blooming.
I live in Tacoma and have had my Dalhias in the ground for years and they always come back. It's pretty hard to have them rot unless they are in an area that gets no drainage. I love Dalhias and planted even more Tubers this year. I do have some in pots this year for the first time but will be putting them in the ground this week. I'm afraid they might not come back in the pots if/when it freezes. Happy to see another PNW gardener.😊
Wonderful. Just wonderful with great suggestions, hints, tips but mostly inspiration. Thank you Claus and Alexandra. Love from sunny Sydney, Australia.
Love this video! Claus and container gardening is most awesome and inspiring. I have very little room in my garden for plants and so I love the idea of planting dahlias in planters. Thank you for sharing! 💚🙏🪴
Nice to him on your channel, Alexandra! I love his garden! It’s amazing.🥰😍💗
It really is!
This so beautiful
This orange Begonia bertinii is lovely same as the purple Lobelia Hadspen purple.
Thank you so much for such a beautiful and informative video🌸🌞🌻
Thank you so much for this. It is such a pleasure to see Claus again, I used to watch his TV programme in Denmark. Always beautiful and colourful, with so many really good and practical ideas for any garden. What a fabulous sense of colour and composition he has. I shall be popping in on his CZcams channel from now on. Had no idea he had one!
His sense of colour is wonderful!
Fantastic garden--pots in my courtyard next year!
So, so beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!
You are so welcome!
Brilliant, so informative..
Glad you enjoyed it
This was a wonderful video. Thanks so much for sharing. I plan on visiting Claus’s channel.
