I have had stems die back in winter, I just cut them off. I've never seen it used as a hedging plant, I don't know if trimming it to shape might cause problems. Some plants don't respond well to that sort of clipping

I'd lose the buttercup, it's perennial, spreads by runners and has to be dug up. Herb robert can just be pulled and it won't come back even if some stays behind

I like herb robert. it's an annual and easy to pull out if you don't want it,

Prefer meadow buttercup to the creeping version though,

The decision about whether something is a weed or not is entirely down to you. Some people love and keep all wild flowers, some hate the lot.

Hi Outdoor girl. I buy seed from places that give you no info at all and I've found this site very useful.

It's not wild comphrey welsh onion but if you look up symphytum you'll find a list of a dozen or so species varying in height from this small one through the larger blues to the very large Symphytum officialis
