    The dark one could be Anthriscus sylvestris ‘Ravenswing’. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Is it going to be troublesome and when can I shape it to be lower ?

    Cut it down after it flowers if you want to ... I don’t cut it back as I like the airy feel of mid-height it gives to the garden ... the seed-heads are great to give interest to the garden in the autumn/winter and of course I get lots of replacement self-sown seedlings. What’s not to like? 😊
