This self-sowing biennial does best in partial to full shade, in a medium to moist soil. Naturally found in moist open woods, along streams and ponds, or in roadside ditches.
Larval host for some moth species.
The flowers attract many species of butterflies, skippers, and bees, including at least two specialist bees: Megachile campanulae and Colletes brevicornis. Hummingbirds are attracted to the flower spikes. The foliage provides browse for mammals and the seeds feed small birds.
