Fact Sheets for Problem Invasive WeedsThe following links represent those plant species considered non-native to North America and accepted by researchers, scientists, botanists and ecologists as invasive by nature. These plants are all non-native ornamentals that are planted for their beautification, medicinal, or conservation attributes. They are considered invasive because they are known to dominate a landscape and crowd out native vegetation. If they escape, their invasive growth habit often leads to detrimental economic and ecological impacts within a native plant community. Several species on this list have little or no invasive information available. Several species are widely accepted as beneficial and the web links reflect research promoting selected species based on their beneficial invasive characteristics. |

Kudzu, native to eastern Asia, was introduced into the eastern and southern United States in the 1800s. It was originally promoted for erosion control and as an inexpensive forage for livestock. It is now present from Florida to New York, westward to central Oklahoma and Texas, with heavy infestations in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. Kudzu resembles a giant bean stalk. |

|
Chinese silvergrass (Miscanthus sinensis Anderss.) A native plant in Polynesia and Micronesia; should not be introduced to habitats where it is not already present, especially those subject to fire. |
|||||||
| http://www.invasive.org/browse/subject.cfm?sub=3052 | |||||||
|
Reed canarygrass (Phalaris arundinacea) Reed canary grass is highly tolerant to flooding, resistant to burning, and quickly forms virtual monocultures by shading native grasses and forbs with its dense growth and litter production. It is a prolific seed producer and spreads through rhizome growth at an amazing rate. Wet meadow restoration is hampered because reed canary grass takes over the wet meadow zone when wetland hydrology is restored. Native wet meadow plants have difficulty becoming established unless drastic and expensive management is applied. |

Japanese stiltgrass, Microstegium vimineum An alien invader is spreading like wildfire through the parklands of Maryland and Virginia. Japanese stiltgrass is a dense, mat-forming annual grass that roots at nodes, is shade tolerant, and occupies various habitats including creek banks, floodplains, forest roadsides and trails, damp fields, and swamps. It is very aggressively displacing our native plants. |

Bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon) This grass can be an invasive and competitive weed. The extensive stolon and rhizome system provide a means of rapid expansion. However, this species, which requires high temperatures and high light levels to thrive, grows only in disturbed areas. |

Phragmites (Phragmites australis) This perennial wetland grass known as common reed, has become a serious pest. It's an aggressive invader of wetlands, producing nearly impenetrable stands of reeds up to 12 feet tall. Beneficial wetland plants are displaced by the Phragmites, which provides little food or shelter value to wildlife. |
