Join us for a walk through the royal gardens of Gråsten Palace in southern Denmark, the official summer residence of the Danish Royal Family. We’ll explore the flower-filled borders, the beautiful sunken rose gardens, and the Royal Kitchen Garden and we’ll share what’s blooming now in early summer. Video Highlights: 0:00 Intro (Note: This area of Denmark is similar to USDA Gardening Zone 8) 0:31 Geranium 'Rozanne' – Cranesbill Geranium 1:05 Digitalis grandiflora – Yellow Perennial Foxglove 1:47 Achillea filipendulina – Fernleaf Yarrow 2:21 Euphorbia – Spurge 3:12 Polemonium – Jacob's Ladder 3:52 Hemerocallis – Daylily 4:46 Stachys byzantina – Lamb's Ear 5:23 Baptisia australis – False Indigo 5:39 Astrantia – Masterwort 6:07 Paeonia spp. – Peonies 6:24 How the palace garden stakes perennials with willow 7:16 Salvia nemorosa – Balkan Clary 7:39 Digitalis purpurea – Common Foxglove 8:06 Phlomis tuberosa – Jerusalem Sage (Pink Form) 8:56 Brief history of Gråsten Palace (the summer home of Danish royals) 12:12 Stop and smell the roses 14:02 What’s blooming on the far side of the garden 16:03 The sunken rose garden 16:34 Trollius chinensis – Chinese Globeflower 16:46 Tanacetum coccineum – Painted Daisy 17:11 A view of the palace from the back 19:41 Exploring the hidden rose garden 21:50 A tour of the Royal Kitchen Garden ➡️ CORRECTION. In the video, I say that the Danish monarchy is the oldest in the world. In fact, the Danish monarchy is one of the oldest in Europe, but it is not the oldest in the world. Denmark’s monarchy dates back to around the 10th century — with figures like Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth from roughly the year 900 or 965 AD marking its origins. In Europe, this does make it the oldest continuous monarchy. However, the Japanese imperial family holds the title for the world’s oldest continuous hereditary monarchy, tracing its lineage—albeit mythologically—back to 660 BCE, with historical records beginning in the 3rd–6th century AD. Here's what we have growing right now in our garden back home: https://youtu.be/CwiFaw77KSU?si=tJ_CeV9Jc7E2Bx-h A little about the palace: Gråsten Palace (or Gråsten Slot in Danish) is located near Sønderborg and is known for its charming English-style gardens, lush perennials, and traditional Danish craftsmanship like willow staking for tall flowers. We take you around the public garden areas and share both the plants and historical highlights that make this palace such a special place to visit. Did you know? Gråsten Palace has been the summer residence of the Danish Royal Family since the 1930s. While the palace itself is closed to the public, the surrounding gardens are open during the summer and beautifully maintained, blending formal and naturalistic design styles.
