I've yet to find a supplier selling seeds for less than three quid a
packet, though, and I'm in two minds as to whether to grow it.

Can't help you on whether it will interbreed with the natives, as mine are
only a few months old but I got my seed from Plant World Devon
http://www.plantworld-devon.co.uk/ and it cost (rummage...) £1.75,
apparently.

It germinated well, and although I was expecting to see some variation
among the plants, all have turned out a good strong dark colour.

Their aquilegia section is also well worth a look.
