Sidehill Lucy

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 in the hope to spread the Sidehill varieties far and wide. They are truly beautiful and are hidden gems in the dahlia world.

Sidehill Lucy is an orange Informal Decorative that looks like it could be a cactus too. At 6-8” the blooms are bright and cheery. The plant is about 5’ tall with good growth habit.
