Rose,

>From my experience, it germinates best under 55*.  The seedlings
require a cold period to produce strong plants that will flower well.
My self-sown larkspur sprouted in  December, and has maintained a 3-4"
growth all winter.  My soil temps were in the 35-40* range when it
sprouted, and they made it through a couple of snows and temps in the
teens.  Hardiness zones 3-6 should plant as soon as the ground can be
worked, and those in zones 6-10 should plant in the fall.  I'm in zone
8.
