Default Wildflowers, how good?

I have some areas that they would look nice in, and would even put some
sprinkler pipes and impact sprayers in to help them to flourish. This
sounds too good to be true. Advice and suggestions appreciated.

It depends on what they are calling "wildflowers"
There should be a list of what seeds are in the package somewhere

You can always just plant them by scattering, and see what develops,
