I found this article in my subscription to Farming and Planting USA

I think this might answer a few questions.

Proper site evaluation and soil preparation are the first defenses
against the competition of unwanted weeds in your wildflower site.

Before planting, assess the current weed population existing within the
area. If the site contains an overabundance of weeds, which is usually
the case in low-lying or run-off areas where water occasionally stands,
we highly recommend that an alternate site be selected. For best
results, choose an area that is elevated with adequate drainage.

A site which is well drained should have a limited population of
existing weeds. To remove the existing weeds from the site, you have the
option to treat the entire area with a nonselective herbicide such as
Roundup Tm* or remove the weeds by hand. After the area is cleared of as
many weeds as possible, soil preparation can begin.

Remember that thousands of buried weed seeds lie dormant beneath the
soil, ready to germinate if the ground is disturbed too deeply.
Extensive rototilling, disking or plowing the soil greater than one inch
in depth will release the dormant weed seed found within the sub-soil.
Improper soil preparation can create an uncontrollable weed problem in
your wildflower area that could have been avoided.

As your wildflowers germinate and grow, periodically hand pull any weeds
that may have come up since planting. Weeding should be minimal if the
area was prepared properly.

Weeds are an inevitable part of gardening and they should be expected. A
little planning and preventive maintenance in combination with proper
site selection and soil preparation will greatly reduce the competition
of unwanted weeds within your wildflowers.
