It seems that all aquilegias look good whereever they seed themselves,
perhaps because they're so dainty and have a natural appeal.

I can keenly recommend sowing seed of some of the yellow long-spurred
ones. They have a special beauty, in or out of shade. I'm growing as
many as I can - not least because my neighbours and friends have fallen
in love with them.

Another close relative is Semiaquilegia, smaller and mire dainty, good
for the rockery and front of border.

Yes, I have one of those, just about the same colour as in your link.
Lovely.

I'd agree with all of that ... except the Alchemilla, which in this garden has a nuisance value alongside that of Herb Bennet and lesser celandine.

Another charming self seeder is Malva moschata, especially the white one - long flowering season and attractive dissected foliage.
