Clarkia pulchella
Aster azureus
Thunbergia alata
Androsace septentrionalis
Browallia.americana
Ipomoea.sloteri
Echium vulgare
Gautama lindheimeri
Portulaca
Dianthus barbatus
Cheiranthus allionii
Lobelia.erinus
Verbascum phoeniceum
Matthiola incana

From your list I know these can safely be planted now:

Clarkia pulchella
Aster azureus
Androsace septentrionalis
Browallia.americana
Gautama (this should be written as Gaura) lindheimeri
Dianthus barbatus
Cheiranthus allionii
Verbascum phoeniceum

I'm not familiar with the rest. Hope that helps.

verbascum and dianthus - jeanne's list is more complete. i personally would hold off on the annual vines as they germinate quickly and are somewhat tender. Nice list!

I wintersowed lobelia erinus in the middle of March. Had great germination...
