Upright hedge-parsley is a slender, self-seeding biennial or short-lived perennial that grows best in partly shaded hedgerows, woodland edges, and roadsides with average moisture. It requires very little attention once established and will readily self-seed in suitable conditions. It is primarily of ecological value, attracting pollinators, though it is not commonly grown as a garden ornamental.
