If they were stored cool and dry, most likely. If they were stored in warm
to hot conditions, particularly with high humidity, unlikely.
I have no trouble using up grass seed that is stored in a garage in
northern NJ after even 3, 4 or more years. Germination rates may be a
bit lower, but grass seeds are pretty hardy.
I have vegetable and flower seeds that are over 10 years old that I
use bits of each season. Granted, those are stored under better
conditions...in plastic bags or their original paper envelopes in a
closet in my den.
