Detailed explanation-1: -From the research done by conservationists, the durability of a seed is known to depend critically on how it is stored: keep it in ultra-cold, dry conditions and you can expect it to stay alive for several hundred years.
Detailed explanation-2: -How Long Will Seeds Last? Many seeds will maintain great germination for three years even in your kitchen cupboard, though there are exceptions. Stored well, some seeds can last centuries. Reducing humidity is key to storing seed, reducing risk of mold and pre-mature sprouting.
Detailed explanation-3: -Light, water, oxygen, and temperature are essential conditions for seed germination.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most seeds, though not all, will keep for at least three years while maintaining a decent percentage of germination. And even a group of very old seeds may have 10 or 20 percent that still sprouts.
