I just try to maintain a reasonable balance. I have convolvulus growing up bamboo tripods. The white trumpets look wonderful at dusk. Had a convolvulus hawk moth last year. Went out to clear away some rosebay willow herb a month or so ago and an elephant hawk moth rolled out. The ragwort has been a favourite again with the insects. I only allow up to 5 plants a year. They appear in different parts of the garden each year which adds interest. Unlike some of my cultivated introductions you can guarantee that, whatever the weather, they'll do!
