Wow .... I'd love to be able to grow something like this but I'm up in northern Ontario. I think our growing area is a two or less.
What part of the country or region is this? So that we can know if we can do this or not.
It looks fantastic, good for you!

I found the website: https://ptlawnseed.com/products/fleur-de-lawn?variant=141703872
It looks like it's made in Oregon and inspired by the flowers of New England. That would probably mean most suitable for zones 5-8 or so.
Here is a Canadian mix that says it's suitable down to zone 3: https://ohcanadaseeds.ca/products/canadian-wildflower-seed-mix-19-annual-perennial-varieties-for-planting-in-canada
Same for this one: https://www.westcoastseeds.com/products/alternative-lawn-wildflower-mix
Zone 2 might be trickier to find.

Thanks for the info .... it's not easy in my area because I constantly search for plants that can tolerate cold. And even when I do find seeds that can, I have to plan and do work for a year, two years or three years ahead.
For anyone else reading this here is where I get my seeds for northern Ontario wildflowers

I've only been trying for the past year or two and only meekly and I haven't achieved any dramatic results yet. One thing I have done is to replace my dandelion infested grass lawn with white clover. The first planting was last summer and it turned out good but I am excited to see what will happen this year.
