I have some poppy and lupin seeds.

How should I plant the seeds for wild flowers?
rake the soil to loosen it. toss the seed into the soil. (sort of like feeding the chickens) you want them to look as natural as possible. lightly run the back of the rake over the soil and lightly water everyday till they come up.
Reply:Just throw the poppy seeds down on scuffed up soil, or bare soil. Lupine are Biannual, won't flower the first year, will the second. Best started indoors on wet paper towel in a plastic bag. Transplant to pots when they sprout.





Some people nick the seed coat and soak in water overnight, or sew them in the ground twice the depth of their diameter. Your choice.





Any wild flower seeds planted directly in the ground want surface water daily, they'll tell you if you listen.





I prefer the "throw down" self seeding kids. Have fun.
Reply:As MartaZ suggests but the soil will need to be poor quality to avoid the seeds being swamped later by grasses and deep rooting perennials.
