Lawn to Wild Flowers

I want to change a part of my lawn to a PERMANENT area for wild flowers
Not this current fad for chucking some seeds about for the birds to eat
? Which flowers do I use and how do I give them the best chance of becoming PERMANENT
Advice please friends

Which type of wildflower meadow are you hoping to develop? There are two main styles

I will read this and come back pansy
yes, I would like to do that too..... checking online.....
Apart from Yellow Rattle, scattering seed in grass is very unreliable
Read up on which are most suitable for your soil type, cut the grass short and get some plugs. Loads of useful websites out htere.
Plugs are probably your best bet, Naturescape have a good selection and are reasonably priced. I have a wild flower area planted from plugs and every year I just cut everything back around March time and it grows back again every year and soon turns into a wild jungle! Mine is purely plants rather than grass as well though and it grows about 2ft+ tall so probably not the look you're going for
? Am i doing right friends
The area is only 8 foot by 3foot.
The plants have seeds ........should I wait until they have burst or pop them and spread them about and then remove the stems and leaves ?.

I have a new area 8 x 2 foot which I want to add English Wild Flowers
Suttons do some but I am looking for the "Real Thing " so any suppliers you can suggest
I will be changing the rest of the garden later in 2020
