    The common reed, scientifically known as Phragmites australis, is a large perennial grass typically found in or near wetlands, rivers, and ponds. It can grow up to 15 feet tall, and its stiff, hollow stems, with their long, narrow, sharp-edged leaves and fluffy, beige panicles, are a familiar sight in waterlogged lands around the world. While they can provide beneficial wildlife habitat, they can also become invasive, crowding out native species.
