Just bough some Agrostema "Corncockle" for £1.55 to find it has 200 seeds. I
only need a dozen plants. Why do you get so many seeds that you do not use
them. Would it not be better to buy smaller quantityies for a lower price?

Most of the price of the seeds is the cost of growing the parent plants,
the labour of harvest, packaging, advertising, sending out in response
to orders, etc.

Reducing the number of seeds to a tenth would not have a great effect on
the viable cost that you could charge.
