Old Lupin Seeds

I have just found some Pink Lupin seeds which my late father put into a small 35m film case. They are labeled 1998 does anyone think they will produce anything?

    Only one way to find out, sow them and see if they come up. Seed can keep for decades if stored correctly.

    Try nicking the seed coat before sowing. This helps water get into the inside of the seed.

    If it were me, I wouldn’t bother, they’re so cheap to buy and I think 20 years is a bit too long.
