^ hard agree - i put a decent amount of effort into growing many of those listed from seed last summer, and this year they have mostly done really well (for some reason all my echinacea and rudbeckia failed massively, but you win some lose some). Gaps are being filled all over the place with minimal effort. If anything I now spend more time removing stuff (looking at you nasturtiums) than putting it in.
We did blow a few hundred on more structural plants this spring, which has made the place look pretty ok, but ground cover and gap filling has been v cheap.
