Is it too late to sow biennial wallflower seeds?

For various reasons, I didn't get around to sowing wallflowers earlier this year which I meant to. Last year's supplier of the gorgeous Fire King aren't stocking them this year, and no other colour seems to fit the bill. I've found a couple of suppliers of this particular colour but it seems a bit steep to pay <£1 per plug plant!

My question is, would it be too late to sow now? I assume they would just flower a little later next year?

Last year I had wallflower Fire King field-grown plants which were delivered (and planted out) in November so by my reckoning I'll just about be OK?

I would have thought it would be too late, even if you didn't mind them flowering later. 
I would go for buying bare rooted ones again this year and sowing the seeds late Spring next year

I don't think that's dear for a good plug plant

Thanks @AnniD - yes I thought it might be. My bad, I'll just have to fork out to get the colour I want   

@Fairygirl no I agree, just that last year I paid £20 for 60 bare-root plants from Woolmans! I shouldn't be such a scrooge

It's this colour combo (with the deep purple tulips) that is too good to resist again for next year:
