I came across a cover crop mix of "Midwest Wildflowers" which looks interesting.

I was thinking maybe if I got some of that, I could plant a small patch and then I could see what they do and which ones I like! What do you think? They're not all short. They have tall ones and short ones and all different colors or even just mixes of blue or red or whatever.

I remember seeing a cover crop mix with red poppies and yellow and then big tall purple flowers and it was beautiful. Made me want to run out into it and do that "Sound of Music" thing, LOL!

That is a great idea!
Those mixes can give you an idea on which wildflowers grow well in your area. Then you can order separate varieties and make your own mix. Keep us posted as to how it turns out?

I am interested, too, @cindysue. We have 11 acres of [formerly farmed] acreage and yesterday my husband casually asked if he plowed, disked and raked the field, what kind of flower seeds would I plant? I almost fell off my chair. Good grief, I save seeds but I don't have nearly enough for that. Looking for suggestions. Annuals, perennials, it could even be a multi-year project.

You may want to check out American Meadows as they specialize in wildflower seeds and they sell them by the pound. Once you get a few established--they will reseed themselves.
