Sidehill Fuzzy (2025 New Intro)- Cutting - Limit 1

B ID DP, Ray Philips 

It’s hard to describe the color of Sidehill Fuzzy. The petals are dark pink with an electric purple center. The blooms look so good in the gardens and would stand out as focal in any arrangement too. It stands 5ft high and the blooms are heavy so it would need staking. Previously an unreleased cultivar, Sidehill Fuzzy is now available for sale for the first time with the hybridizer’s permission.   

I was lucky enough to visit the gardens of Ray Phillips - the originator of Sidehill dahlias, and given unrooted cuttings of his varieties in October 2024. I managed to root several of them and kept them alive through the winter months to confirm their blooms. My first attempt to overwinter dahlias has succeeded and these varieties are now offered on my site.

For every Sidehill cutting sold through Rainfall Gardens, a percentage of my profit goes back to Ray for his breeding efforts. It's my hope to spread his cultivar far and wide. They're truly beautiful and are hidden gems in the dahlia world.

Ray’s notes:  if you’re showing this cultivar at ADS shows, it should be under disseminated so please contact us to get the appropriate paperwork for it. You can email rainfallgardensstore@gmail.com
