Shadowjack, I live in 5b also and I winter sowed some things inside and outside. I think if I were you I would wait until all danger of frost this year on most of your things. The sunflowers do not like to be transplanted. If the asclepias is seed they would be ok to plant now because I just planted mine in the house a week ago and they are 4inches tall.If your columbine and blanket flowers are seed they will not bloom until next year. I have gobs of BFor galardia that I winter sowed in Jan. They are just about an inch tall and so thick I will take a spoon and plant them in gobs but they should bloom this year, Let me know what your others are that are coming. If you plant the butterfly weed or asclepias keep wet from bottom but put a little sand on top to keep mold off. Hope this helps from a non expert but we all learn something every day. Let me know how things grow. Your fellow Illinoisin BEV
