Do you mean that they're bare patches ln the lawn?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
If as dove says they are bare patches in the lawn then yes... But a lot of the wildflower seeds do need cold to germinate.... so you may be better off sourcing plugs....
Which wild flowers did you have in mind rosemummy?
In the sticks near Peterborough
2bare patches in corners,may just be cold enough if I chuck on this weekend?got a blue pink mix know cowslips in it love them some grasses too
most wildflowers love ground with very little nutrients they are tough mind you i see you said grass stopped growing in the area and normally grass is very resilient it has on occasions grown in my pond in my tubs so just worried that something might be in the soil but nothing ventured they say im sure all will be fine
