Impulse buys of Burpee American Flag Leek (at your suggestion, fingers crossed about bolting Nan) and two Lavenders from Botanical Interests were both sold by the gram, not by the seed. I would imagine that since these are machine processed by weight, any human intervention in counting small seed quantities would drive the price even higher.
