The first time I planted the Delphinium, it was in the hot part of the spring already and I chalked it up to me planting too late in the season or in the wrong season altogether. So I planted them again 2 weeks ago and nothing has sprouted yet. The package says 15-20 days so hopefully within the next week or so I'll see something. As of now, I'm not sure how confident I am in the Delphium. (Pacific Giants Blend) Also the Golden Bell Peppers did not sprout at all. I planted 4 or 5 of them in the spring and none of them sprouted.

None of the delphinium seeds germinated in 3 weeks despite new pitting soil and ample sunlight. I had Marvel of Peru and Snapdragons in the same box and they did germinate. The Kilimanjaro White African Marigolds also have a poor germination rate as do the Sunshine Blend Gazanias.
