    I’d like to add...don’t leave Allium seed heads until they fall on the ground and self seed everywhere.

    If you mean those tiny alliums, I heartily agree. There's so many in one of my beds, it looks like a patch of grass😒

    A. Purple Sensation used to self seed in my last ( sandy ) garden and I loved them.

    Not the same plant. This one looks grassy, about a foot high, with a few creamy whitish pinkish flowers and then a couple of red seeds.

    Same goes for Aquilegias. Bloody nightmare.

    I've had aquilegias seed into the middle of clumps of Hostas and only notice them in the second year (once they've sent down a stubborn tap root )

    Don't use bark mulch in the borders and cover the grit you have put around the hostas to protect them.  Slugs love the bark bridges!
