In America, not all phragmites are a problem. There is a native species that does not grow as tall or as invasively as the European variety.

The European species of phragmites is extremely invasive. It grows tall, does not provide a good food source and it overruns native species. It grows so aggressively that it can take over entire wetlands. It also will grow in the coasts as well.
