Highly unlikely that they will grow. The few seeds found that grew
after hundreds of years came from peat bogs and were hard-shelled (as
I remember from the articles). Most other seeds are viable only the
next spring. Viability drops rapidly after that.

I have heard storys of seeds that are hundreds of years old that grow
but I am not sure.
