I have been trying to grow delphiniums from seed since early this spring. I
bought seeds from a local hardware store. Both the Pacific Giants and the
Connecticut yankees. I tried 2 different attemps to seed in my garden and 1
round in planters inside. Absolutely nothing germinated. I generally have
no problem growing anything. Could the seeds be bad from the seed company
or is there some secret that I am missing?

Cold stratification. Delphinium seeds will germinate better if chilled before
planting.
