I suspect that some nurseries push (treat/mistreat) plants to drive them into early bloom.

Additionally, many plants offered for sale have gone through multiple shipments (HI to home state, then home state to one or more shows - untill the plant is sold), spending days in a box and at each show several days in less than optimum conditions.

Thus, I almost always give plants a 2nd chance, so I can see what they will produce after a full growth cycle under my conditions.
