Fresh aquilegia seed germinates well without special treatment.  
Dried mature aquilegia seed requires additional treatment(s), like those
listed by paige woodward.

There is tremendous variation in the seed germ requirements across A
species and varieties.  But flats overwintered outdoors will sprout.  

A tends to be a very promiscuous species.  Any cross between any species in
either direction is probably going to be fertile.
