Too late to plant wildflower bed?

Complete gardening novice.
Is it too late to plant some wildflower seeds? I feel like it’s a late spring so it might be ok but I don’t want to waste the seeds if it’s going to be a waste of time. Or should I wait until autumn so they flower next spring?

Things like poppies, cornfliwers and daiseys are pretty bomb proof. Go for it I think?

I don’t think so and I have planted mine a week ago. This year has been strange and it was too cold in April and most of may and there has been a risk of frosts. I have been checking the weather forecast and waiting for it to be warm enough to plant them since Easter so I think your timing is pretty much perfect!

June is the last sow date for a lot, so if you're quick you'll be ok. Check the packets for info. Leave the ones with May as a last sow date. Plenty of choice still out there.
