Germinating old seeds often requires extra effort, but it's possible using a damp paper towel method.

Here's how:

  1. Dampen a paper towel: Ensure the paper towel is damp, not soaking wet.
  2. Arrange the seeds: Place the old seeds on the damp paper towel, making sure they aren't touching each other.
  3. Fold the paper towel: Fold the paper towel over the seeds, creating a small envelope.
  4. Wait and Observe: Keep the paper towel damp and in a warm place, and check regularly for germination.
