Properly stored seeds will last a very long time. I had 1/4 lb of dill seeds from 1999 (Baker Creek, I wasn't in the business back then). It was in the back of the frig and forgotten. Planted it expecting nothing but ended up with a row of healthy dill. Thanks Erin for putting this together. It's the #1 question we get.

Is there seeds that you can buy that all of them last up to 25 years. If so what's the difference in the seeds so I know what to look for. Such as none gmo.  
 
Thank you,

I found an old, unopened packet of Roma tomato seeds from Northrup King dated 2001. They had been stored in my unheated shop, where temperatures get to over 100F in summer and below freezing in the winter. Not thinking that any would germinate, I put all of the seeds in five 1" squares in a germination kit from Burpee. I was astounded when virtually ALL of the seeds germinated. I am not kidding.

Is germination always a yes-or-no proposition? Or are there cases where a seed germinates, but the plant soon dies or is otherwise compromised because it doesn't have all of its genes?

How many years can I keep Nectarine or similar fruit seeds before trying to plant them?  
Thank you!
