I have tried different ways. Now plain old larkspur self sows like crazy and I do nothing for them at all.
Delphiniums I've tried winter sowing in containers. Not a big fan of WS but did have success unless the container lost it's lid and drowned them under melting ice etc.
I've tried them with moist sand for a cold treatment in the fridge but I ended up with no germination as I had moldy seeds.
I've tried them just planted out early like March or now put in the garden just barely covered with soil. This is the method I prefer as it's successful and easy! Our frost free date is mid may so it gets enough winter without blowing or washing away
You can even plant your blue butterfly delph seeds and if they do like mine- some cross with something and turn out MUCH larger from seed. See the picture.
I do not have trouble transplanting delph.

I also found a guy who sells PGiant seedlings for .50 and wow- that's even easier!
