IMO, just go to a 7-11and get a money order and find a seed bank who accepts.
Also IMO, it's more important that the shipping address is not the place you grow. I don't have anywhere to ship to other than my place so I just don't do it at all (sigh...).

One last 'IMO' statement is that if I had to wager I'd say that if there were 'any' investigations that occurred solely on the basis of seed purchase, those all began with customs....not with the credit record.
Meaning that, even with the common knowledge that credit card companies, albeit indirectly, provide raw purchase data to various federal agencies which they in turn 'mine' for various patterns, the sheer volume inherently curtails investigative consideration of each and every instance without further corroborating data.
Basically the software used to parse mined data should, by nature, 'alert/report' using basically an algorithm, that among other things must (obviously) limit 'false positives' or minimally order the 'alerts/reports' in such a manner that only the most blatent and obvious 'relationships' would givien significant investigative effort.
In other words, be careful as often as possible. Generally one or two things done without '420 best-practices' in mind will not get you flagged so to speak, and considering the typical methods used when agencies mine the data for these relationships, I suggest that you should be safe once or twice but frankly, why even risk being in the system at all. Do everything you can to obfuscate what you purchase, who purchased it, where it will 'end up' etc etc ect.
If this is a personal thing where you are worried about another close friend/relative seeing the itemized bill, this all obviously is moot.
Of course, I'm making an educated guess here, but I think it's a good assumption nonetheless.
