Your borders look very neat Al! I never arrange in colour combinations, I just get what I like and put in in when I have space. I only planted one on the north facing bank, the rest set themselves! It;s lovely when I go out my back door, I'm surrounded by aquilegias.

My garden is mostly shaded anyway, it all gets shade at some time of the day. The huge horse chestnut tree gets in the way of sun!

It is possibe to grow them in a certain amount of sun, it may depend on the variety too. In this bed I only planted two which I grew from Songbird Cardinal, one pink and one nearly white. A few have self set from those, others from elsewhere. I have Lilies, Irises, then Geraniums to take over later.
