Dear bj, thank you for your question. This is Lisa, the owner of Zziggysgal. Here's some tips on the best way to keep your seeds viable during long periods of storage.1) Most importantly, do not freeze them because each seed contains a tiny droplet of water at its core to be used upon germination. When water freezes, it expands, damaging/compromising the seeds cell structure.2) The secret to keeping them viable longer is to carefully choose a storage place that does not experience extreme fluctuation in temperatures. 3) I like to place my leftover packets of seeds sealed in a good old fashioned mason jar.

You can store them in the refrigerator indefinitely (that stops the growth) or you can put them I'm a shoebox sized plastic box with wheat bran or oatmeal or even cornmeal. I keep some in the fridge and some in a box. The box ones will turn into beetles after a while

I didn't check the package but Chia seeds are the ultimate survival food for long-term storage they have a life shelf of 4 to 5 years!

The life of a seed varies by type. The sprout rate deteriorates over time. Freezing seeds can slow the rate of determination significantly. Freezing these should last 10 to 15 years.

In my house, not very long. I go through them pretty quickly. I would probably be comfortable storing them at least a year.

I put mine in the freezer. I've used seed over the years and seen little degrading in germ rate. That's how the huge seed vault keeps em fresh.

Different seeds have different ideal storage conditions. However, in general, keep them cool (not frozen), dry and dark. If you have a vacuum sealer, you could vacuum seal them, and then store in your refrigerator. Do not store in the refrigerator if they are not vacuum sealed, as the moist air would be problematic.

Very long, I had mine for almost a year and I just made them 2 weeks ago and they were perfect. As long as you keep them in a cool dry pantry.

The seeds probably last up to 2- years in a cool,dry place, like most live seeds. They last longer in the fridge, not freezer. The sprouts last a few days in the refrigerator. I always continue to rinse them at least once a day. They begin to wilt in when they get old. It's similar to keeping lettuce, with a little longer shelf life if you keep them rinsed, maybe up to 5 days.

Uggh! Sorry that we did not see your question in time to help with your purchase. Wouldn't it be great if Amazon notified the manufacture that there were questions here to answer? They send plenty of marketing emails daily, shouldn't be difficult to add this option! The paper can be stored for centuries! Given the right conditions the paper will not deteriorate in your lifetime. The seeds in the paper however will only last that long if you keep them frozen under perfect conditions (not found in your home). To keep the seeds in the paper viable for multiple years, just store it in a sealed container (no sunlight) in a cool, dry location. The wildflower seeds will stay dormant until exposed to water, warmth and sunlight.

I check the box and didn't see any expiration date (usually its one or two years depending on the type of plant). But since the plants will give you new usable seeds you just need to save some when it is time.

I don't understand your question. The date on my jars is about 2 years in the future. As well sealed as these jars are, they probably will be good to use beyond that time.

I have no idea. They are dried so they can be stored over a long period of time. You would have to contact the company.

I know my husband stores seeds from year to year in the refrigerator. I haven't needed to store these seeds because I use them up quickly.

It probably wouldn't hurt. I have never stored my seeds in a vacuum sealed container and I have used seeds up to five years old though there appears to be some decline in germination percentage the older the seeds are. Good luck

Seeds should be planted within a year. The mylar sealed bag should keep them from deteriorating longer.

It depends on the temperature that you store them at. regular room temp they are good for between 5-6 years. in the fridge they are good for 7 years. In the hot desert sun they are good for a year or less.
