How long can seeds be saved for?

They keep for many years if kept in the freezer. Not sure on specifics but ten years would seem reasonable to get good germination still. I don't keep mine in the freezer and I still can get decent germination on a seed (usually) as long as it is five years or less. They start to go down hill at some point after that. Humidity is the enemy, keep the seeds consistently dry and they store for long periods.
