Saving Chives Seed

I bought a bunch of chives seed this year (5000, more than I Need). Can anyone tell me how, or if, I can save them to use next year. I have tried to save chives, and onion, seed before and they did not come up the second year. Any ideas?

Thanks
George

When they are totally dry, put them in a well sealed mason jar (in your climate you might want to include a pack of silica gel) and store in the fridge or freezer.
The colder the better as these have shorter viability than some others like beans, peas and maters.
