Phragmites australis

Description

Phragmites australis, commonly known as common reed, is a tall, clump-forming perennial with stiff, upright green stems and long, linear leaves forming dense stands. In late summer it produces large, feathery plumes of greenish-brown flowers, creating a striking architectural feature along pond margins, wetlands, and damp soils.

This species is valuable for wetland biodiversity, providing cover and nesting sites for birds and insects. Its upright, clump-forming habit and tolerance of consistently moist or waterlogged soil make it ideal for pond edges, reed beds, and naturalistic water gardens.
