The best thing you can do is see what is growing locally. Most wild
flowers are pretty speciallised. Trying to grow something that's
unsuitable for your soil & position will only result in
disappointment.

Many wild flowers prefer a poor soil. If your soil has excessive
nutrient (as in veg plot) they will be swamped with grass.

To be successful you have to take steps to remove soil nutrients.
Actually takes years.
