Depends on how it is stored.  At room temperature,
viability drops quite a bit after a couple of years,
especially if not stored with a dessicant.  If they
are properly dried and then frozen, however, they can
be stored for many many years.  I would imagine this
is especially the case for the temperate species and
less so for the tropical ones.
