How to grow Dahlias in pots

It’s late summer here in Denmark and soon the Autumn will arrive. The dahlias are still ok, but they were looking greater some weeks ago. Now they are a bit damaged by rain and wind.

Therefore I will show you a video I have produced about six weeks ago for Alexandra from The Middlesized Garden:    / themiddlesizedgardencouk   I’m almost sure, that you know this great channel. If not, I will suggest you to take a look.

The video is from 7th August and I think the Dahlias were looking great. I’m talking about several plants (see the list above) and I’m also showing how we plant the dahlia tubers in pots in the spring,

Aralia cordata 'Sun King'
Philadelphus caucasicus 'Aureus'
Physocarpus opulifolius 'Nugget'
Lobelia 'Hadspen Purple'
Begonia bertinii
Cleome hassleriana 'Violet Queen'
Buddleia 'Nanho Purple'
Verbena bonariensis
Lilium 'Purple Marble'
Angelica gigas

’Bishop of Oxford’
’Blue Bayou’
’American Dawn’

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.
