Without knowing Larkspurs in general, or your variety in particular, I would still expect SOME percent to germinate. If you sowed a big handfull, I would guess that you'll get a bunch of plants. If you sowed just 10-15 seeds, who knows?

Someone passed along a belief to m e that some seeds with dormancy requirements may lose the dormancy after too many years stored dry and cool.. Fact, fiction or suburban legend?

>> Meanwhiloe is one day in 30* temps long enough?

Many plants that need to be stratified for a few weeks of cold + damp can do OK with 40F as their "cold" temperature.
