Depends on the content. If you buy individual species the price varies depending on size, how common it is and ease of harvest. Something like Agrostemma (Corn Cockle) could be 30 quid a kilo. Tiny, tiny seeds like Helianthemum, if you could find a Kg, would cost thousands.

For a mix of common UK species, 2.50 for 100g is as cheap as it gets. And wild flowers are best sown thinly, 100g could sow 20 square metres or more - again depends on content.
