Dayna's Backyard Pigpen Hollyhock, Hues of Pinks, Red, Whites, and Purple, Organic

This variety represents the best of modern Midwest seed stewardship.

• Farm-Grown & Certified Organic: Produced by Dayna Burtness and Cody Egan at Nettle Valley Farm reflects a commitment to organic practices and high-quality seed saving.
• A "Living" Heirloom: Dayna’s Backyard Pigpen was bred to be a reliable, heavy-blooming companion for the home gardener. It is celebrated for its ability to provide a continuous display of flowers, rather than a short, concentrated burst, making it a high-performance addition to borders and fence lines.

Dayna’s Backyard Pigpen is a beautiful, multi-tonal mix that feels right at home in both formal cottage gardens and casual, wilder landscapes.

• The Blooms: These hollyhocks offer a delicate, expansive color range, featuring shades of pure white, soft pink, muted mauve, and deep, regal purple.
• The Habit:  This "full-bloom" effect ensures that your garden remains colorful for a long period of time.  Stalks are continously produced. 
• Pollinator Magnet: The large, open-faced blossoms act as a beacon for bees, butterflies, and other essential garden pollinators, turning your backyard into a bustling hub of activity.

This variety is prized for its vigor and its ability to adapt to the variable climate of the Upper Midwest.

"Dayna’s Backyard Pigpen is the 'gift that keeps on giving' in the flower garden. We love it because it doesn't just bloom once; the stalks are constantly producing new flowers as they grow upward, which makes the display last for weeks longer than traditional varieties. It's a testament to good breeding and local organic farming—reliable, beautiful, and a true favorite of the local bees."

• Sowing: Plant after the danger of frost has passed in full sun with well-drained soil. Space your plants 18–24 inches apart to ensure good airflow.
• Moisture Management: Water the base of the plants regularly, avoiding wetting the leaves to keep the foliage healthy.
• Support: These tall stalks benefit from light staking, especially in windy gardens.
• Naturalizing: To keep this beauty in your garden indefinitely, allow some of the seed stalks to mature and drop their seeds. Because these seeds may germinate over a long period, don't be surprised to find new rosettes popping up throughout the season!
