Agreed on this but then i always take stats with a grain of salt. No doubt most have better prepared beds than i do and some worse off. The same could be said of watering,amount of sunlight,length of season by zones and clump sizes.
Not that stats are not helpful,they are, but i use them as a general guide instead of the gospel.
True. It does help when trying to determine what to buy, though. Even knowing that a particular cultivar has 5-6 branches vs. another that has 1-3 is helpful to me. Or 35-40 buds vs. 8-9 buds. Or just a note of 'thick' scapes vs. 'thin scapes' (subjective, I know). And foliage should probably be easy to determine after 1 year, I would think, right? (They cut mine at time of purchase to conserve water for the ride home, so no measurements on that for me this year.)
I still think its a good idea to have the info, even if it isn't perfect. I need more people on board with it though, and a consensus (and viable method) on how to obtain the info.
