The following DEFRA page is not crystal clear, but states that the
import of most (flower) seeds is unrestricted.

No it doesn't. It is quite clear.

The one thing that is quite clear is that the intent of the regulation

scientific sense, especially when seen in the context of the equivalent
(or sometimes absent) regulations for commercial import.
