Seeds have a longer shelf life than many people expect. The only thing that I know of that’s pretty limited is onion seeds. They’re supposed to only be good for one year, but I easily got two out of them.

Here are some links to seed viability.

From the Farmer’s Almanac (they say 1 year):

The Spruce is another good site for gardening info. (they say 6 years):

Many thanks to both of you for the links and the great advice! The seeds are the loose-leaf variety, and I’m going to plant them tomorrow. Will report back on how they do. Fingers crossed. :-)
