Best Answer

Almost all seeds will still be viable within one year if stored in cool, dry conditions free from pests. Seeds that last around one year are chives, parsnip, mint, rhubarb, and rosemary. On average, seeds will last 3-5 years. The longest lasting are pumpkin, squash, cucumber, silver beet, some beans and corn.

It depends on the type of seed and how they have been stored. Some seeds can remain viable for several years if stored properly in a cool, dry place. It's worth trying to germinate them, but don't be discouraged if they don't sprout.
