Can I grow these native weeds in my wildflower garden?

I would like to allow some english plantain, red clover, dock, toadflax, and burdock to grow in my wildflower/native grass garden section of the yard.

These (above) are host plants for local butterfly species. I would think that as long as I prepare the soil well, seed sufficiently, and have a good flower to grass seed ratio, a few native weeds will not over take the garden - maybe a year after it is first established?

Thanks,

Steven
