Seeds aren’t really alive, but they do have the power to become living things. No one knows for sure how long a seed can exist without being planted before it loses its power to grow into a plant. But it could be almost forever.
A seed found in China and proven to be 1,400 years old began to sprout when it was watered and planted.
