So long as they are not prescarified, those should be sown quickly.

Ive Planted seeds ten years old and they have Sprouted Paul

Wonderful!!!!!!! Thank You so much! I have some that I have had for maybe a year so they should still be good. It's in the mid 90's here. Is that too hot to plant them now....should I wait until Fall? Thanks!

Most hard coat seeds like canna (the ones you have to nick and soak) are viable for a very long time. I haven't beaten Phick's record but have had 100% germination on 8 year old seeds.

A 2000 year old date palm seed .. a no that is not a typo germinated and is growing.
