Wild flowers prosper in poor soils. The normal way to establish a wild flower patch in, or on the edge of a lawn would be to strip off the turf, and the nutrient rich top couple of inches
No fertiliser unless you want the obvious pioneer plants to crowd out your wild flowers.

Ah good, thanks. This is definitely poor and is stoney too. I’ll just sew the seeds and be done with it. This is my inspiration. All along a local side road.

I've got two wildflower patches in my garden. One on really poor clay soil and one in some rich compost. I let the clay one do whatever it wants so there's some weeds growing in there too. The rich one I weed and keep a bit tidier. It looks more like the above when in bloom. Let me get some pics
