Thanks, all.

Out of isolation, a Dianthus or Maple would be better choices, hitting almost as hard or harder on turn one and boosting allies in endurance fights.

What's the deal with that, anyway? Still, it's no loss having one of the others. We just have to double down on filling out those 'request for blooming' surveys in game. It's hard to argue against Saffron, though. That defensive spread is top tier, assuming it's the same as the wiki.
