along the side of my house? it get's tons of sun and right now is totally bare (except the ugly unit). I'm in zone 8, so i know the possibilities are endless. Pictures would help me the most.

'Wildflower mixes' often includes hardy annuals, not native (to North America) plants. They are wildflowers of arable (disturbed) land, e.g. poppies, scotch marigold and nigella. They reseed, but will fade away over several years if the soil is not disturbed at the beginning of the growing season.
