This is my first time of doing any Sowing. I will follow with a list of plants and flowers that I am wanting to Sow for my Butterfly Garden. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I picked up these seed packets at menards, and a couple at a local farm supply store.

Herb Host Plants
Chives, Common ( Allium schoenoprasum )
Cilantro ( Coriandrum sativum )
Rosemary ( Rosemarinus officinalis )
Thyme, Common ( Thyme vulgaris )
Chamomile, german ( Matricaria recrutita )
Lavender ( Lavendula angustifolia )
Parsley
Oregano ( Oreganum vulgare )
Dill, Fernleaf ( Anthum graveolens )
Chives, garlic ( Allium tuberosum )

and the Flowering plants

Tithonia
Velvet queen sunflower
Shasta Daisy ( Silver princess )
Blanket Flower burgundy ( Gaillardia Aristata )
Columbine ( William Guinness )
Asclepias tuberosa ( 2 different packets...one reads Butterfly weed, the other Butterfly flower...2 different heights as well )

Thanks

TJ
