Start off by clearing the area where you want to grow wildflowers. For maximum impact, it is advisable to grow them in a large patch so that they spread and grow vigorously. Wildflowers have a surprising growth rate and they can spread to the surrounding areas by re-seeding. 

Clear the area and remove all the weeds and other unwanted plants. Once the patch is clear, begin tilling it before you sow any seeds. Mix potting soil or other organic matter to make it rich so that your plants flourish. After, these initial preparations you can go ahead and sprinkle the seeds of your favorite wildflowers and wait for them to pop out.
