Do you know coleus? If not, you need to! It’s such an amazing foliage plant which I’m planting in pots and containers as a companion plant together with dahlias. You can make the most striking combinations and I really hope to inspire you.
I show how I’m planting just one variety in each pot, which make it much easier to design a stunning container garden from early spring to late fall.
I’m also showing how the same spot was looking for three weeks ago.

My name is Claus Dalby, and I live in Risskov on the outskirts of Aarhus in Denmark. To date, I have written about 30 books on flowers and gardens in Danish, and my garden has been featured on many TV shows. In March 2022 my first book in English will be available. I consider my home (built in1908), and its garden with its neighboring wood, as my sanctuary. When I started gardening in 1996, there was just a large lawn covering approximately 1 acre (4,000 square meters), but today the grass is long gone - replaced by 15 hedged rooms with varying colors and moods. Additionally, one of my great passions is growing in pots, arranged to create spectacular container gardens, which I will share quite a bit about on this channel. Decor and creating moods have always interested me - both outside and inside - and I love to use the flowers from my garden for bouquets and to inspire other crafts that create a sense of hygge.
