We've pulled you out of that rut!
What are garden friends for? LOL
It usually isn't mentioned on the seed pack, but Larkspur are best direct sown in cool soil. I direct sow in March, but in your zone I think you could sow any time in winter. Self sown seedlings appear in my garden in the fall, and just sit there through winter unphased by cold temps. They don't transplant well, so direct sowing is advised. They will typically survive transplanting, but are stunted afterword and won't reach full height.
