Common reed (Phragmites australis)
-
Common reed, or Phragmites, is a tall, perennial grass that can grow to over 15 feet in height. Phragmites forms dense stands which include both live stems and standing dead stems from previous year’s growth. Phragmites forms a dense network of roots and rhizomes which can go down several feet in depth. This pervasive species quickly invades sites taking over wetland communities and alters hydrology and habitat by blocking light to native plants and occupies the belowground growing space.

Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria)
-
Purple loosestrife is a perennial herb with seeds that are mostly wind dispersed, but they can be transported by animals. Seeds float and are also dispersed by water. Plants can spread by underground roots and shoots, as well as by seed. It occurs in wetland areas including cattail marshes, sedge meadows, and open bogs. Once established, purple loosestrife displaces native vegetation through rapid growth and heavy seed production. Dense stands can change drainage patterns by restricting the flow of water. Wildlife can be affected by the displacement of indigenous food items such as cattails and pondweed.

Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea)
-
Reed canary grass is an aggressive, cool-season perennial grass that invades and dominates a variety of wetland types including marshes, wet prairies, sedge meadows, fens, stream banks, and seasonally wet areas. This species can also grow in disturbed areas and spoil piles. Roots spread extensively by creeping rhizomes and runners. Reed canary grass is difficult to eradicate and is one of the first wetland plants to emerge in the spring, enabling it to shade out native species that emerge later in the growing season.
