Ammi majus (Queen Anne's Lace) Plant it where you want it to grow, Deep tap root. I would not plant this one as it's hardy all the way to Canada. Invasive! see http://davesgarden.com/guides/...

Amorpha nana (Fragrant False Indigo) Plant where you can smell it.
From softwood cuttings
From seed; direct sow outdoors in fall
From seed; winter sow in vented containers, coldframe or unheated greenhouse
From seed; stratify if sowing indoors
Scarify seed before sowing

Angelica atropurpurea (Angelica) This is not hardy above Zone 7a

Asclepias incarnata (Swamp Milkweed) Plant it where you want it to grow, Deep tap root. Great plant for Butterflies. It gets about 3 to 4 feet tall. Plant at back of garden.
see http://davesgarden.com/guides/...

Asclepias purpurascens (Purple Milkweed) Similar to above, just shorter. Plant ASAP

Baptisia tinctoria (Yellow Indigo) From seed; direct sow outdoors in fall.

Baptisia sphaerocarpa (Large Yellow wild Indigo) Plant ASAP

lobelia cardinalis(Cardinal flower)
I'd chill this at least a week or two unless they are labeled "Stratified" Plant soon after that.

Senna hebecarpa (Wild Senna) From seed; direct sow outdoors in fall.

Rudbeckia fulgida (Showy Black Eye Susan)
Rudbeckia fulgida (Orange Coneflower)
Plant both of these now.
Rudbeckia triloba (Red Sport)Self-sows freely; deadhead if you do not want volunteer seedlings next season.

Silphium laciniatum (Compass Plant) From seed; direct sow outdoors in fall.

Zizia aurea (Golden Alexanders)
From seed; direct sow outdoors in fall
From seed; winter sow in vented containers, coldframe or unheated greenhouse
From seed; stratify if sowing indoors.

I enjoyed reminding myself that all that grows here is not always good for Florida.
Things get away from me too quickly.
