I now see that this is incorrect - and you can buy from any number of
sources - (too late from this year - already bought T&M)
I have noticed that there is great variation in the prices - eg ten
seeds for 3 pounds or thirty seeds for three pounds.
My question is : is it worth paying more for such seeds or are the
cheaper ones fine?

As long as it is a licensed seed supplier and they describe the variety the same (F1 etc) I would go for the cheaper ones as they are all bought from the same breeder in the first place. T&M do hold the license for Sungold so everyone gets it from them, this will give an idea of how expensive T&M actually are, through the catalogue, when Moles (a commercial seed supplier) lists Sungold at £5.10 for 50 seed or £36.40 for 500 seed. I use smaller independant seed suppliers like Simpson's or Robinson's for small quantities.
