Cultivating wild flowers is difficult

I set aside areas of my garden for them.

Oooh how exciting. Did you just scatter the seeds?
I also planted wildflower seeds this year in a few beds and in planters. They are all coming up, I can hardly wait until they grow more and bloom.

@Magenta My garden was once an ancient wood, until 1930. It reverts if it can. And in places I let it. I’m careful not to mow too often.

The red campion I sowed about six years ago.

I’ve had no luck with poppies. But can easily propagate foxgloves.
