| Hi, You can store them in a freezer in an air tight container and most will last a long time. But you must let the container come to room temp before opening or you will kill your seeds. They will store fine in a room temp cool dark place though. The years are for storage in a cool dark dry place where germination will be about the same as this year.

| I store my seeds in a container in the refrigerator, they seem to hold up very well. Good gardening, Mary |
