How to plant coleus in pots as the perfect companion plant
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- 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.
Hear about:
Coleus ‘Main Street Sunset Boulevard’
Coleus ‘Main Street Beale Street’
Coleus ‘Main Street Wall Street’
Euphorbia amygdaloides 'Purpurea'
Viola cornuta ‘Terracotta’
Acer palmatum 'Aureum'
Dahlia ‘Happy Single Kiss’
Dahlia ‘Autumn Fairy’
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.

Oh my gosh! I had to put the video on pause for three hours right at the beginning...but, that's ok because the music intro and flowers were so soothing and inspirational to get back to. I was actually tending to my garden! :) and who does a thumbs down?!!! Ridiculous.
I definitely favor pinks, purples and blues but Claus, you make even the “orange family” of colors beautiful!
Agreed.
You thank us 🤔😲 ? But we thank you and a lot too...every video is a pleasure and nobody has to disturb me 😅😅 Many greetings from Italy 💖💖💖
BEAUTIFUK FLOWERS AND NICE MUSIC
Claus, I've never seen a more beautiful garden. I have one request. Would you please leave the plant names on the screen a little longer. I'm having trouble getting the names down before they disappear. Thank you. Loved your bouquet video. I'm ordering the plants you added to the bouquet.
Any color is a great color I don't complain. Coleus are such a forgiving plant if a piece breaks it will grow and the plant will fill in again. Thanks for sharing Mr. Dalby.
If you take the broken piece and put it in a glass of water for a week or so it'll root and make another little plant that'll grow into a big one. Love coleus for their ease of growth and colourings.
So pretty 😍 I think one of your favorite colors is green because your voice gets happy when you describe a green plant 😂
In my country we call Coleus, Joseph's Coat because of the colour variety. It's a gorgeous plant
Where is your country?

My mom is jamaican and calls them the same Joseph's coat!
My father (born in UK in 1920) always called it that, too. They were one of his favourite plants and remind me of him.
I’m dabbling quite heavily in the container planting world! Your pots are beautiful. The availability of quality pots here in the USA is difficult to source!
It's the same in Greece... I either find plastic or ugly terracotta pots...
@@eleniemmanouilidou24 ......I wouldn’t have thought. Love Mr. Claus arrangements!
I LOVE your channel. I learn so much> TY!!!!
Lovely container garden
I love the way you have your pots arranged. One thing I notice is you really don’t have any “spillers” in your pots and I love that idea
Coleus grows so well here in Windermere, Florida zone 9b 🇺🇸
I plant once and they keep coming back stronger in our Spring (Feb)
I love your 1 pot/1 variety
Your pots are as beautiful as your flowers and plants!
Caro Claus i tuoi fiori sono maravigliosi come te! Grazie per i tuoi preziosi consigli. Sei una persona felice perché ami quello che fai! Certo che il tuo clima ti aiuta molto perché le fioriture durano a lungo e ciò rende orgogliosi! Bravo e grazie mille.👏👏👏👏👍💐continuerò a guardare con piacere i tuoi video.
Thank you so, so much for your kind comment - I really appreciate it.
Coleus one of my favorite plants. Five years ago they were scarce here(I was told nobody wants those) and I started growing them from seed.
Now they are back so I do both buy and plant seed.
That's always funny, "Nobody wants those." The fashions, silly. That's where seeds open the whole world.
When I was a little girl we would only grow them as house plants and it was always the one and only variety. I only learned a few years ago that you can actually grow them in the landscape and that there are so many varieties 😊
@@aksileb Just read your comment and I didn’t realize you could use those as houses plants. Coleus don’t make it through the winter where I live. I buy these every year to put in my window boxes in my shaded area. I will use them as house plants in the fall.
Thank you for your comment!
🇨🇦🧑🌾Very nice containers on your step...lots of them😄‼️Like the difference colour leaf plants!
I love coleus. It can be paired with any flower
I like to see all the pots crammed together on your front porch. I like to do that on mine too, but my husband always thinks it's too much. It's never too much, until you can't walk up the stairs anymore! I love your color scheme... it's beautiful.
Those are beautiful colours Claus, especially with the golden acer. Thank you.
These are beautiful Claus! Thankful you’re on you tube!!!♥️♥️♥️
I find such pleasure in listening to the way the gentleman speaks English, especially the charming way he enuncitates every syllable even when it's not quite right. It's almost melodic. I wish I spoke so fluently in my other languages. Thank you for your videos, sir!
I love how you look at your plants like a parent looks at their child.
I love orange flowers, but I feel they are the hardest to find. Beautiful video!
Coleus has become fun with colors, shapes and sizes. I like the idea of a smaller pot with the focus on one plant. Beautiful and we!coming entrance.
Those coleus and dahlia colours are just amazing. What a fantastic combination.
Coleus have come a long way in the last few years, there are so many new colors. I love the flower colors and the patina on your pots, everything looks absolutely beautiful especially surrounding those glorious Japanese maples.
Your displays are such an inspiration! Hello from Washington state!
Lovely display using repeat colors. Thank you!
It's such a delight to see your garden and sharing what I can do in mine. You are my favorite channel from the US. Every gardener here seems to always promote that one PW brand, and it's refreshing to see someone else is using many other or different plants that are just as beautiful when planted in containers. The plant colors are so pleasing to look at when combined in a color scheme. Thank you for todays lesson.
Love the music too💚
Very beautiful. My father always planted coleus in pots when I was younger and I never appreciated just the foliage. But now I understand why he liked them so much. They provide such instant color. I have a new appreciation for them. Thank you for sharing your expertise, Claus.
Thank you Claus!! So enjoy your information. The orange family is beautiful!
The coleus tones are beautiful flanking your wooden door fronts.
Thank you so much! Your examples and information is so inspiring! AND you entranceway pots are beautiful.
I love the copper/apricot combination and no way should we have to wait for autumn to work with these colours!
so delightful watching your show. such a treat being in your garden!!! thank you for inviting us.
I also grow Coleus. Thank you for your kind explanation ♪
Thank you! I am going to try your method and do one variety per pot . Everything is spectacular!
Coleus are some of my favourite plants! I love the different colours and textures of the different varieties!!! They're just so pretty!!! In Greece we call them "beautiful leaves"... Thank you for another lovely video Claus!!! Lots of love from Greece!!!
We have an orange bike in one flowerbed, I am going to try the pots around it next spring.
I love sun coleus they are gorgeous!!
Envious of those Japanese maples!
You have quickly become my favorite plant videos. Have enjoyed these very much!
I am so glad you started this channel on UA-cam!!! I love your container planting ideas!!!
Me too. I can only use containers, and he is a master🤗
Loved this Claus! Coleus is one of my favourites. 🇨🇦
Absolutely wonderful.Thank you very much sharing with us. To all of you 🍻 cheers 🥂.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful entrance. I love flowers in all the colors. I'm drawn to purple and yellow combination this year, but I have all sorts of colors throughout my tiny garden. I'm running out of space. I have flowers waiting to be planted. I need a bigger garden.
Love to see your channel viewers growing, keep up the good work!
Wonderful video Claus, always an inspiration, THANK YOU !!!!
Beautiful, seems very Autumnal 🍂🏵🧡🌿
I love all the new varieties of coleus especially that chartreuse one you showed on the video yesterday. It is so vivid and lovely. I'm glad they have the new varieties that don't flower early in the season because I think they ruin the look of the plant. Your containers are pure delight 💜
Beautiful combination of coleus colors. I love you container combos. Perfection.
Coleus are a favorite of mine, so many varieties ❤️😊❤️
Love the euphorbia with tulips . Ballerina is a wonderful tulip with an amazing scent as well
Great color inspiration. I have smaller clay pots need to make a garden run😊
Beautiful 😍
Beautiful combinations !
I ha e some red dinner plate dahlias and I’m so used to using blue and pink. I’m excited to try something new. Coleus are so temperamental here if they don’t get consistent water.
I will be running to the nursery for some Coleus tomorrow! Lovely display. Such colorful foliage! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌿🌸
I just planted coleus in my garden two days ago using the same color scheme! One of my favorites! I plan to pinch them to keep a compact, full appearance!
Gorgeous grouping of plants. I love the single plant per pot- makes it fun to fiddle with the composition a bit!
I love coleus! There is so much variety of colors to be found. I also love caladiums for the same reason. Thank you!
Love the color combination . You’re such a artist .
I love your music! Oh, and of course the plants!😍
just wonderful
Beautiful !! 🌞🪴🌺🪴
BRILLIANT! Love the copper/apricot scheme. Thanks for the tip about shearing the violas.
Thank you, what a great lesson about how to dress an entry. Looks so inviting!
Beautiful colors. I love coleus.
Oh I think you should do a full video on those size dahlias. I hate the ones you have to stake.
Axh, coleus is one of my loves!
So beautiful!!!
So lovely!
Love this❤️looks fantastic!
Your videos are so pleasant to watch. Thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us!
Gorgeous flowers!! So inspiring. I have dahlias mixed in a container. I’m inspired to pull them out and display them as you did in individual pots. I can’t wait to go do it. Have a beautiful day!
I am growing 2 varieties of coleus from seed this year - just sprouted. Looking forward to planting each one alone in a pot for the versatility after watching this! It makes sense, don't know why I never thought to do it this way. BTW, I love the color combo with the tulips and those maples!
Thank you for showing your copper arrangement. Your tips are priceless
Good Morning, good morning! Such a pretty display.
I love this color scheme, Claus, and such a beautiful selection of plants. 🙂🧡
Beautiful composition.
Thank you for the talk on the those lovely maples. More detail on the maintenance would appreciated. I would like to add some to my own garden.
Todas las plantas están hermosas.
I am pleased you like it - thank you very much.
How much sun does this area receive? It's very beautiful Claus.
Yes, wondering that too. I would generally love more information about light in Claus's different areas.
Such wonderful and informative video, thank you so much!
Coleus are wonderful! Mine has been flowering so prolifically 🥰
Great information! This gives me inspiration, thank you!
The coleus are just beautiful in the color So Many Colors I enjoyed this so much thank you for sharing Vicki Texas
Just beautiful. Coleous coloration combinations just get better and better every year. I've got Proven Winners "Sky Fire" coleous in a pot and it's colors start on a ruffled leaf with yellow going to oranges then red with a lime green stripe. Simply stunning and a show stopper. I planted it with 2 "Conga Red" calibrachoa plants. The 3 plants are a simple planting in a blue & cream colored striped ceramic pot but the results are eye catching and showy in a grouping of pots.
Love coleus!! They look great all put together, lovely display Claus!
Beautiful!!!
What a beautiful display! So the tall orange flowers? Are these geums? Does anyone know?
Yes those are geums
Looks fantastic, I’m growing Coleus in my garden too and they are beautiful right now. Thank you the video was great 👍🏻
Like a Monet paining....❤️
Always a pleasure to see your flower arrangements!🪴
This was very helpful. I am inspired to plant more one variety pots for my garden. Thank you for sharing.
Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing !
Such a beautiful garden..love idea of container> Love those Coleus
Thank you for your fabulous videos. It's like a glimpse into heaven. Great to see new (to me) combinations and every time it renews my passion for gardening. Such a gem!
So beautiful! Coleus is one of my absolute favorites, so easy to grow and many varieties.
