Interesting, dapjwy, I was thinking of adding jewelweed to another area of my yard.
Personally, I've always liked the jungle look of things. I'm not one for the perfectly trimmed, not a stone out of place garden look. Of course, I don't want invasive non-
natives having a frolic everywhere in my garden, but wildness among natives, especially ones that bees love, I'm ok with that. (or maybe in a few years I'll change my tune, if
Canada anemone gets out of hand.) But as you say scale does matter. And maybe that's where I'm making a mistake, as my yard is not that big.
