Wildflower Mix
Putting down a bag of Burpee's Cutting Wildflower mix. Perrenial blend of 16-18 flowers. Here is the corner "plot" of our yard that previously was a catch all for extra dirt, dead flower pots and etc. Should be interesting come September.

Good luck! It does take a few years for these wildflowers to get well established, if they are the perennial type.

If they survive the deer. That's ok, no hurries.
The germinating sprouts started appearing in less than 3 days.

Deer do love the sprouts... but in my garden they don't really like monarda (bee balm), cardinal flower, obedience plant does get chewed, but not mowed down. Wild geranium gets eaten, but I've got so much of it now that it's not a big deal when they eat a couple of plants. They love coneflower, as do the rabbits, so I'm growing that up by the pool which is fenced in.

Oh nice!!! I've been researching to find some flowering plants that are deer resisted. We have deer and all sorts of wildlife at our place.

So far, deer and other critters haven't bothered it. But then, food is plentiful (including neighbors gardens).

Deer will eat anything if hungry enough. They are very opportunistic in that way. This year they haven't found my hostas, which is unusual. In the fall, though, they will happily munch anything and everything as they start getting ready for winter.
A couple of things that helped - Deer No No. Natural Deer Repellent | Deer Control in NJ, NY, Ohio, Indianapolis, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania – Deer No No It's basically Irish Spring soap in little net bags. I hung these on my serviceberry bushes to save them from being eaten.
Another item I use is: Liquid Fence Animal Repellent for Lawn and Garden Soon I'll start spraying my hostas every week to keep the deer from eating them to the ground.
My experience of plants that the deer hate: lavender (easy to grow, likes dry conditions, too), iris, Russian Sage, yarrow.
