BB FD OR, Ray Phillips 

I actually lost my Fall cutting of Sidehill Cyndi but my friend Trish from @raisedinclay brought me a cutting in December with a bloom on it. I was so happy to see her during the wet and cold days. Cyndi is a cute little orangy pink ball that is very prolific with good strong stem. 

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.
