What is the maximum amount of times food & flower seeds will stay good until planted?

If I planted seeds today that are ten years old, would they grow?


I dont have any old seeds. If I did I would just plant them to see for myself if they grow.


I want to know if I decided to collect a varitety of food %26amp; flower seeds and plant them many years down the road, would they still be alive to do so?

It actually depends on the type of flowers. Some flower seeds are perishable and will decompose. Other can last years, literally. The perishable seeds will generally have a statement to that effect (a use by date) on the packet.
