The change in colour of Hot Rod is earlier than that of other Panicum. The purple flower panicles appear at the end of summer / beginning of autumn. The growth habit is upright. Hot Rod becomes approx. 90 cm high and 60 cm wide and is very suitable for mass planting or for in a pot on a balcony or terrace. Hot Rod is also an asset in mixed containers!
