Will last years seeds grow?
I've saved seeds that I bought last year but never got around to planting. They've been stored at room temperature in an envelope. Will they germinate?
Re: Will last years seeds grow?
Normally they will.
It is said to be better to keep them cold, but I have had no problems.

I had some seeds that were misplaced for several years, and I nearly threw them out, but then decided to give them a try. That particular time I had great germination rates.
I would go ahead give them a try. If you don't want to waste the space with planting them in seed starting mix, take a few of them, put them in a paper towel and fold it up and slip it in a plastic bag. Put it in a warm spot, and check in a week or so to see if anything is sprouting.
I always think it's worth a shot!
