Description
Betty’s Borders is our most popular wildflower mix. It works well in a wide range of elevations – 4,000′ to 8,000′ feet. It is a combination of annuals and perennials to give you color the first year with the annuals and in subsequent years with the perennials. It is a drought tolerant mix so it can perform without a great deal of supplemental water (although you get more blooms with additional water.)
