The length of time varies depending on the species. On average, it is between 3-5 years. However, it can be as short as 1 year for pansies, parsnips, chives, rosemary, and rhubarb or as long as 10 years for some pumpkins, squash, silverbeet and beetroot. All of these times assume good storage conditions away from heat, light, and dampness.
