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.

I tried tulips for the first ime last year. I only had plastic pots and planted about 10. I planted in November and they started to appear really early...in February😐
And I planted them maybe too close to the top of the pot. I covered the pots with fishing net to keep the squirrels away. They came up beautifully but they were rather early and didn't last more than a month or so. I'm going to go per your instruction this time. Thank you, sir. This video was a joy to behold!!
Ahhh, I just caught the end and you revealed to me I had planted tulips which were called "Queen of the night"❤
A good rule of thumb to follow when planting bulbs is to place them at a depth of three times their own height. Enjoy!
Good god man , you are so blessed. If ever i needed a double dose of amazing, lovely, spectacular, peaceful, and calming this was the video . The look back at spring and the music somehow transported me to better times. God bless you!
@@nemkini We are aware that the production of tulips and other bulbs has its downsides, but a solution must be found. Maybe we should reduce the use of pesticides and increase the price of bulbs that are not expensive anyway.
Hi all, I followed his method exactly last year and had a great success rate. I live in zone 7, and placed them under the bench on my covered porch throughout winter. I could have placed them in my unheated garage, but I didn’t want to risk inviting critters there.
Tip: You may need to cover the pots with chicken wire or plastic sheets if you have squirrels in your area.
This is very helpful as I am in zone 7 as well!
would putting them in an unheated shed work too? im in the same zone as you.
@@preciousshortie yes, it should be fine, take it out and start watering once you see leaves shooting up
Thanks!
Thanks! Zone 7 also was wondering if my porch would be the safest spot. I’ll have to cover since we have squirrels.
I love dreaming of what will emerge in spring! ☀️❤️
Great video 🤗
You inspired me last year with your beautiful pots of bulbs. I did eight containers and layered them. What a show piece and just absolutely a joy for me and my neighbors. Thank you for your great tips!
What did you layer?
☺️ thank you so much for great tutorials
Thank you for watching.
Isn’t this heaven on earth? Absolutely stunning.
Thank you so much for talking about how to grow tulips in pots. I planted tulips in pots and put them outside did not cover them and alas, they did not produce any flowers, and when I looked into the soil, they were disappeared. Like you said they rotted in the soil 😮! Thanks to you now I know better😊
I am so lucky to find this Tube as I have a hundred of tulips to plant in Japan in cold area. Thank you!!!
So glad I watched this video last year. I took your advice and covered my pots planted with tulip bulbs. In the past the bulbs would rot out because I didn't cover them. This year my pots are full of gorgeous tulip leaves sprouting. I am anxiously waiting for the beautiful blooms. Thanks Mr. Dalby.
Hello, you always provide such breathe taking vistas & a wealth of knowledge. Thank u.
Thankyou for posting this video.
My pleasure! Thank you for watching.
Now I know why my pots of tulips have been disappointing- I didn't plant enough. Lovely video, thank you
Thank you so much for putting the names of the plants/tulips as they appear. Very clear and easy to see, and so helpful. I could watch the videos time and time again.
What a heavently garden! What a stylish choose of amazing plants❤️ Thanks a lot for Your advices and one special huge gratitude for the indication of flower varieties❤️
Your arrangements are very, very tasteful !
Beautiful flowers, beautiful music, and wonderful gardening advice. Thank you Claus for your much appreciated respites in a world that doesn't make much sense right now.
So nice of you
Simply wonderful, thank you Claus. Your book will be on my Christmas list 🥰
I love the music too
Thank you so much.
Your garden is a piece of art …a beautiful painting 👌🏻🧡
Love your videos and instructions. You have created beauty all around you. I'm so happy to have your videos to help me along. love,hugs,prayers.
How are you doing today Barbara and how is the weather over there
Love that music ❤️❤️❤️
It's so soothing
I've never had much luck growing tulips in pots-they end up rotting. Perhaps because I left them exposed to our -30 Canadian winters with lots of snow. I will take your suggestion and cover them this year in a much more sheltered spot. Fingers crossed that I, too, will have beautiful pots to beatify my front door. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to the book.
I think they just get too much water. Same for me last year ... I also want to try mixing in some grit so the soil is drained better
Same, I tried last year in window boxes and a lot of them rotted, I wonder if I tried terra cotta planters if it might be a different outcome?
(Southwestern Ontario)
same thing happened to me! how disappointing and smelly! i think this year i'll leave them in the garage/shed and water them one a month as a test
@@rulu3345 the terracotta might crack due to the water absorption and freezing
@@rulu3345 no
Thank you Claus. i am inspired to grow some bulbs in pots this year. Your instructions are very thorough. I am pre ordering your book...can't wait!!
How are you doing today Jennifer and how is the weather over there
Absolutely stunning , I’ve never seen such vivid colors . Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
How are you doing today Lisa and how is the weather over there
That’s exactly what happened to my tulips last year because I left my pots outside all winter and the drainage holes got frozen shut and every single bulb rotted and I ended up with nothing this spring, thank you 🙏 for talking about what I did wrong
I think he watered too much. It is very important to know your zone. I think he lives in a less harsh winter region. that is why he could do what he did. I live in Zone4 in the US. Last Fall I planted tulips in big pot and kept them outside until 3 weeks after the frost around Christmas time. Then I moved the pot in the garage against the outside wall. In the coldest time during the winter, that spot was 26--28 degrees. I moved the pot out when night temperature was around 30. I got great bloom. I failed many times before last year. The tulips do need a few weeks of below freezing temperature,
@@tonyshen6450 Did you cover the pots?
I saw one woman who put coffee filters over her drainage holes to keep the dirt from collecting in the holes.
Thank you for this beautiful video. This year we try plating bulbs in containers after your advise. We look so much forward to spring.
Lovely share my new friend 👌
So very beautiful! Thank you for showing us that this beauty is available to us as well.
That is such a lovely comment - thank you very much.
Thank you Claus as always, beautiful. I think tulip Blue Parrot and Dolls minuet will also compliment your schemes.
Thanks for the key tips on covering the containers. Also, I never thought about packing in 20 bulbs on a 12 inch diameter container either; that’s what makes it look fuller.
How are you doing today Mary and how is the weather over there
Thank you so much for your video! I subscribed for you! 🌺
Ohhh perfect timing! Just bought my Bulbs yesterday! Thanks
Also, just Preordered your book and cannot wait to receive it.
So very beautiful ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I live in Texas and here tulips flower in March and don’t last very long because it is so warm. Nevertheless I am going to plant several varieties in pots and hope they come up half as beautiful as yours and I will be happy.
Thank you so much for explaining it in detail! I only tried tulip bulbs in a pot last year, and also in the ground. The ones in the garden bloomed beautifully, but the ones on the pot probably rotted. I had left them outside and we had so much ice and snow. This year I will try again with your method, and will store the pots in the garage instead. Very excited for next Spring!
Glad it was helpful!
Lovely garden, lovely man.
Absolutely Stunning!
Thank you so much!
Superbe lalele și narcise!!!
Extremely beautiful 😄😄😄
Good morning Claus, Greetings from Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
I've grown Amaryllis and Caladiums, but never Tulips 🌷
Good morning!
Thank you for the tips! Only some of my potted bulbs came up last year, so hopefully I'll have better luck this time! Beautiful garden, as always!
How are you doing today jamie and how is the weather over there
So beautiful! Thank you.
Very helpful tips! Gorgeous garden!
So beautiful! Thanks for the tips. I’ve just planted my bulbs but will definitely put in greenhouse over winter.
Que hermosos!! Saludos desde Argentina
Thank you very much Sir for the very informative video. I am from Indonesia and just tried some pot plantings. I am not sure if I can get tulip bulbs here but yes yes I would like to try to plant bulbs. I admire your pot garden very much, it is truly inspiring..
I guess the covering top may vary according to climate. I live in an arid climate. I think I'll put the pot in a window well and see if that's good enough.
Stunning!
The best video here on TH-cam about this topic. Thank you for explaining it so well. You are amazing Claus!! P.S. I bought your book already! I can't wait for next year to get it.
Dear Claus, thanks a lot for this tutorial! It‘s perfect! Now I know the diameter of the pot and how many bulbs it contains. The video is very inspiring. Next week I‘ll go on a hunt for beautiful white and pink tulip bulbs. I also love the idea of using red salad in the arrangement. Your hint for well watering and than covering the pots is great!
thank you for that! I will definitely try !
Please do!
Could you please show us the finished pot? As in, with the plastic covering? I’m going to try this method and want to be sure I get it right. Thank you.
How are you doing today white and how is the weather over there
Your containers are always a dream. However, what I miss in this video is that covering the pots and storing them for the winter is not shown. I always like to forward your videos to flower-loving friends who may not immediately understand this very key instruction only as a narrative and not as a video component.
Thank you so much for making this video🌷 it’s beautiful. Can you put mulch or a vegetal cover on top of the pot, or on top of soil on the garden? Will the flowers grow through the mulch? Thank you 🙏🏻🌷
Thank you for watching. You can always mulch your borders in the garden, and your plants will grow through it. I have never mulched my containers, though.
Wow! My mouth dropped to the floor Mr. Claus!! This looks so easy and doable. Thanks for the tips!
It must be lovely to afford all these beautiful plants and not have to worry about the deer eating everything…. Thanks for the show
Thank you for this video. I tried bulbs in pots last year, but nothing came up and now I know why!
Zone 6 in US. If covered, can I leave pots of planted tulips outside where it snows? Or are they better in the garage where it doesn’t quite get below freezing?
I'm also in the US, zone 5, I too would like to know the answer to this question. I don't have anyway to keep them under anything during the winter and wondered if the garage would work.
Few degrees below freezing is not a problem. Usually snow (if it’s a thick layer) acts a a blanket and protects what’s underneath from hard frost.
Pots should be protected from freezing solid. It depends on your local weather and situation. If the winter is harsh I would keep the pots in a garage, a shed, unheated greenhouse, basement, under a porch or similar. Good luck. 👍
Thank you, Claus. I always learn so much from you. I really enjoyed the video. I’m wondering where you get your tulip bulbs and when do you order them? Thank you 🌿🦋
Your beautiful displays make me long for Spring even though we still have Summer temperatures here in Denmark.
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing this. I'm new to gardening so this was very helpful. Whatnare the trees in the containers by the greenhouse? I like the idea of small trees in containers
Yes, I'd like to know too, some type of hydrangea maybe?
No one :
Literally no one :
Me : OMG THAT DOG IS SO CUTE
If we plant tulips and water them and cover the pot, will the soil dry out and the tulips run out of moisture during the winter? Maybe a bigger pot is the solution?
Beautiful video. I hate to ask an unrelated question. I am curious if you are able to keep those tree hydrangeas in their containers outside during the winter or do you bring them inside a cool greenhouse? Thanks for another beautiful video. I love your channel and garden.
Thank you so much I've been waiting on this video and looking forward to seeing more tulip plantings in the garden. Excited to order your book.
I enjoyed your video
Can the pot be left outside in a covered area?
Thank you very much for this kind comment. If you mean - can the pots be left outside during winter, then the answer is yes. Just make sure to keep them in a place, where they are protected from winter wet, as too wet soil can cause the bulbs to rot.
Always a pleasure to watch your informative and beautiful videos.. it has brought joy to my day 💚 thank you 😊
very beautiful garden you have. Please let us know the name of the two tree which are in big containers each side of your door. Thank you
Thank you for the beauty of the plants and the music that you bring with to every video on your channel. I cannot wait to read your book, and I hope I will find there information how to plant a tree in a container too. If there is no information about this, I would be glad to hear about how you’ve grown these beautiful maples and hydrangeas in pots in your garden.
Hi 🙋♀️ from New Zealand 🇳🇿 love this video 🪴🥰 spring time now in NZ🇳🇿
Thank you for the secret of covering pots!
I want to pot plant daffodils. I read that potted daffs do not like tap water,.. can anyone suggest what type of water to give the bulbs.. how often do I water them?. The display of his bulbs etc.. are beautiful..
This will be my first time doing tulips in pots. Hope it will be successful 🤞🏻
I am first time trying to do tulips……have a small balcony,few pots will do,good luck 🤞🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
Does it matter if you use clear or black plastic? Do you place the covered pots in sun or shade?
Thank you for this video I was thinking of planting Tulips for the first time so this is really helpful! I have a question - If you plant 20 bulbs in your plant container do you expect all of them to grow or is it possible that some will not grow? Do some Tulip bulbs grow at different times?
There are varieties that bloom at different times. If you want long blooming containers, consider planting early blooming, mid season blooming and late blooming. You will get the most impact if you group the same bulbs in a container rather than a mix of bloom times.
@@denisedorsey2889 Thank you so much! You can tell I'm new at this and your advice was very helpful. Cheers.
Just found your videos today and absolutely love them! Please can you tell me how you make your potting mix ? I live in Johannesburg South Africa in hot summer rainfall area and cold winters but we only go down to 2°C with warmer sunny days at 15°C will it still be necessary to cover and not water the planted spring bulbs in this climate? Thank you for showing and sharing your beautiful garden.
Just wonderful to see all your tulip display with lovely tune in the background. Really makes me dream of spring ❤️👍🏻Thank you for making this video for us
How are you doing today Na and how is the weather over there
I would love to grow tulips but not sure what time of year is best in my Florida growing zone 9b
Tulips need cold weather to be able to go through their process so they can bloom. I don't think Florida gets cold enough so you would have to put the bulbs in the refrigerator.
I live in Newfoundland, Canada and I love flowers.The past 5 years I have been experiencing with transplanting from shoots.This year I have done my Tulips in pots because I live in a basement apartment and don't have access to a garden, The weather here is unpredictable and if it gets up to 30 here that is very hot. My tulips are now starting to bulb and its the beginning of june. I have done a double row of them,because I heard they will grow after the first row dies off. Is that true? Can I save the bulbs for next year?
I’m planting bulbs in pots for the first time this year. I’m in PA, zone 6b/7a and never realized I need to cover them!
I am definitely going to do this with my spring bulbs. Thank you
Could you translate to português (Brazil) please 🙏 thank you
In which month do you sow the tulip bulbs? Thank you 💐
I bought your beautiful book which came on Thursday, and I've recommended it to many friends, photographers and gardeners. Its pages, so full of glorious coloured photos are really helpful with plant names too. Thank you Claus for publishing this lovely book.
Thank you so, so much for your kind words about my book - I am truly pleased you like it.
Thank you for sharing your tips re planting tulips. I will try your method this fall.
I am new to gardening and I don't know a lot of things that might be obvious but, do we uncover the pot to give it water during the winter or leave it covered until spring? and also do we cover them during fall or when is the best season to do all this process?
You water well before covering your pots to protect them from too much winter wet (the bulbs may rot, if the soil is always wet), and then you begin to,water in the spring, when leaves begin to appear. Good luck!
Great video ,,just wondering if I can plant them in plastic container here in zone 7-8 or should it be ceramic pots
Beautiful!!! 💚🪴🌷 I just found your channel, and I already subscribed 👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks and welcome
Very much informative video, I'm gonna try it this weekend, thanks.
Thank you so much its wonderful how you had the footage from how they looked last spring. This really helped me understand. This is a great tutorial many thanks 😊
I plant everything in pots. I love your garden. I just purchased my tulip bulbs. I’m planting 500 bulbs. What’s the name of the two trees in pots behind you? I thank you for this video and your knowledge. Once I put my bulbs in the pots and water them once. Do I water them again or just cover them with plastic store them in my shed until spring? Blessings to you and your family 🙏🏾
they look to be hydrangea standards
Hydrangea paniculata trained as standards.
I have the same question regarding watering over the winter if the pots are in a shed.
@@heidihein8662 how are you doing today Heidi and how is the weather over there
I live in the Caribbean. Will I be able to grow tulips. They are so beautiful.
I've wanted to do this since I saw you an instagram. I hope to plant containers this year for next spring. Your flowers and arrangements are all so pretty. I really enjoyed the music used in the video also. Would it be possible to get the title of the music?
How are you doing today Mary and how is the weather over there
漂亮👍beautiful your garden 🪴
I tried this last fall with daffodils, some of them grew the stems but no flowers. I left the pot out all winter. I’m in zone 5. I think this year I will try again and put them in the shed. Yours are beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I’ve been waiting for this video😊
I tried with daffodils and tulips and most of them rotted. For some reason I was under the impression they would need to be watered throughout the winter. I thought because bulbs in the ground get so much moisture with all the rain and snow, I figured in containers they would need some water too. I am also in zone 5. I will try again this winter and cover them.
Oh dear - I did not cover my pots. Yes, my tulips 'composted'! Now I have new bulbs and room in an outhouse - this time, I promise, I'll take more care. Thank you Claus.
Good luck - I am sure that you will have much more success now that you are going to keep your pots stored in an outhouse.
Does anyone know where he buys his pots from? They are beautiful!
How to grow roses in pots? Thanks. I like your videos so much.
It is such a pleasure to watch your videos! Looking forward to receiving your book, great news
