Wildflower seeds

[gengis]

I was going to sow a wildflower patch 6 x 2 m over the weekend but worried in case i have left it too late i am in tge north west

Do you think it would be ok to go ahead?

What does it say on the packet?

And what type of wildflower seeds? Annuals? Perennials? Biennials? Annuals such as poppy and cornflower will take about 12 weeks from sowing to flowering, so if sown now, will not start to flower until late August, early September, which gives you quite a short flowering season. Biennials and perennials will be fine, as they won't flower till next year anyway. If you sow seeds now, be prepared to water, because once they germinate they will soon die if not kept moist.
