There's nothing wrong with putting wildflower seeds in your garden, unless you want them to look quite consistent. Actually, planting might be a lot simpler and less stressful overall. Wildflower seeds are easy to sow, but you can't just toss them in the ground.

There is some planning required. The area needs to be cleared of grass in order to prepare the soil for the seeds. Wildflower seeds are best sown in the spring and early autumn. Compress the seeds into the earth after you have manually scattered them. Leave them exposed so they can receive full sunshine and a higher probability of germination.
