The seeds in this can have been carefully dried to their optimum moisture content to increase their storage life. They can be stored safely for at least five years at 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit and much longer at lower temperatures. Each 5.6-degree drop in storage temperature will double the storage life of non-hybrid seeds. Temperature and moisture content are critical factors for successful seed storage.

What are heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds are types of seeds that have been passed down through generations. These seeds are generally considered open-pollinated, and many possess unique characteristics such as different shapes, colors, or flavors. Heirloom seeds can be used for growing vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers in a garden. They are a great way to preserve the genetic diversity of plants and connect people with their food sources.
How to store heirloom seeds?
Heirloom seeds should be stored in a cool, dry, dark place. It is best to store them in an airtight container or sealed jar. Ensure that the environment you store them in is not too humid or hot, which can damage the seeds and reduce their lifespan. It is also essential that any containers you use for storage are clean and free from moisture, pests, and other contaminants.
