Planted large meadow this spring and not totally satisfied with results.

I planted the following mix along with sunflowers and some daisy cultivars.

Followed recommended procedures but only a couple plant species bloomed from the mix as did many sunflowers.
Not a single daisy!

Frustrating as I spent several hundred dollars on seed !

Any thoughts? I live in zone 9(ocala,fl)

One thing I do have is an abundance of grasses and tall weeds which look a bit like cosmos foliage but clearly are not.

Is it common to have large scale failure of seeds and am I better off buying individual species?

I bought this mix as it was specific to the southeast.

I have been told over time the grasses will take over.
So question is "what was the point of this investment in a meadow which seems to have failed?:

I must say the sunflowers are spectacular but only part of the equation
