Default Seeding a widl flower area

Is it better to sow them right in the soil or in a propagator and then
into the soil.
the problem is they are all mixed up and i dont know what sizes will
be where.

If you are starting from bare soil, then you can sow a wildflower mix
straight into the soil. If you are trying to plant into grassland, you
will need to grow them into reasonable plants before planting out.

You'll lose more by planting them straight into the soil. Are they
annuals or perennials? If annuals, they may not be quite so happy to be
transplanted, and you might want to go straight for sowing into the
soil. But if perennials, then my preference would be to grow till about
in a 3 inch pot and then plant out.
