[Wikipedia] Ornamental Plant, Weed Status, Wildlife Food: It is cultivated as an ornamental grass. This species also has potential as a noxious weed and is easily spread via seed contamination. It has been declared a weed in Puerto Rico and a potentially invasive weed in Mexico.[6] The seeds are eaten by songbirds and small mammals, while the larvae of certain butterflies feed on the plant.
