I just moved into a house and have spent a lot of time getting the yard ready to plant flowers. I want to put wildflowers along the side of the house, tall ones preferrably (altho I think most wildflowers are tall). The side faces south so it gets full sun pretty well all day long. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions what I should plant. Yes I know I can google it, and I probably will, but would like to hear the experiences, idea, preferences of other gardners here. And, I know it's asking a lot, but since I don't know much about wildflowers (except that I love them whenever I see them), if possible and not too much trouble, pics would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I guess I should add that I'd prefer not to plant from seeds but buy them already started. I don't know if that makes a difference or not to answer my question, but just in case it does...

If you live in Western Ontario, Burlington/Milton area, there is a place on Derry Rd, and Guelph line, they are selling everything for wild flowers garden, those flowers are growing in the clay soil, that is so typical to western Ontario, you don`t have to treat those flowers when planing, and you don`t have to worry about watering them. every month the place got new flowers. amazing place.

Thanks buka, sounds great but I live in Southern Ontario. Do you by any chance know the name of the place, I'm wondering if we might have one here? Seriously, you don't have to water them?? Wow, that would surely be cool!
