Usually they only last the season they're purchased for, no longer. Maybe if there are way better storage facilities than most households, you might get another year out of them, so you'd have to grow them out each year and save new seed. I don't know about parsnip and orach seeds' longevity, but I routinely use lettuce seed that is several years old - it has very good germination. Pat So what is orach? My ignorance always amazes me. Ellen It's a hot weather spinach substitute, comes in green and red. Another hot weather spinach substitute.. malabar spinach .. dunno what the longevity of that seed is ;-) links below.
