April 11, 2025Q.What Do Newly Sprouted Native Phragmites Look Like? How Can I Start New Ones On Other Areas Of My Property?
Should I collect seed? What do seeds look like? Should I dig up the plant? I have native plants on my land and would like to create more in another spot.

Certified ExpertA.Here are some differences between the native and non-native phragmites in the articles below. Be sure you have the native variety, which is harder to find. You can increase the native stands by digging up and dividing an existing stand and replanting the divisions.
