Fountain Grass
Fountain Grass in general creates problems in our natural and native habitat. Fire spread and crowding out of native plants are just two of the problems with Fountain Grass. http://www.birdandhike.com/Veg/Species/Grass/Pennis_set/_Pen_set.htm
Spurge
Spurge has many forms and is quite invasive. It will often be found in the cracks between patio blocks, cement sidewalks and other forms of construction or disturbed earth. It is a member of the Euphorbia family of plants. http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7445.html
