Common reed, also known as Phragmites, is a perennial reed. There are two main species of common reed - Phragmites australis which is an invasive species and Phragmites australis americanus which is native. The invasive species is an aggressive grower which outcompetes native vegetation. The visual differences between these two species are hard to determine which is why we made a generalization here.
