It is generally best to store any seeds (after they have dried) in an airtight container in a cool dry place protected from light. I generally place the seeds on a paper towel for a couple days to allow moisture to evaporate, place them in a paper envelope, label and date and then I keep the envelopes in a plastic shoe box or old cookie tin.
