Yes, I know 'Osakasuki' won it, but its offspring did not. Nor will they
much resemble the plant that won the AGM.

The reason to sell seed from this particular cultivar (as opposed to
another) is that they germinate well (as well as regular A. palmatum ssp
amoenum seed from which the cultivar was selected); less customer
complaints. Of course it will take several years for the customer to
realise that they didn't get what was advertised.
