OH wants a wild flower garden in our little orchard plot where the grass will be left un-mown (see attached pic) however I know they like poor soil to succeed so I'm going to cheat. I'll give it a good cut before winter, a treatment of weed-killer to eliminate the dandelions, then I'll plant a few crocuses for spring colour. As for the rest, I'm going to get some seeds of escholzia, Flanders poppies, cornflowers, cosmos, Nigella etc which I will grow in my greenhouse then plant out into pockets of soil. I'd also like some type of white daisies and a yellow plant that will grow between one and two feet high and would appreciate any suggestions for these plus your thoughts on my plan.
