Phragmites australis variegatus (Variegated Reed)

Phragmites australis variegatus, commonly known as Variegated Reed, is an aquatic plant characterized by its tall and slender stems with variegated yellow and green leaves. It forms dense colonies in wetland areas, marshes, and along the edges of ponds and lakes. This plant provides habitat for various bird and insect species. Variegated Reed is fast-growing and can reach a height of up to 15 feet. It spreads rapidly through rhizomes and requires regular maintenance to prevent it from overpowering other plants in the area.
