Hardy and Needs Plenty of Watering

Syzygium Campanulatum

Bought three of these marvellous plants from a nursery along Jalan Diary for RM25 each. While others might favour the plants to be planted in the ground, I prefer mine potted at least to control their growth and for easy maintenance.
Syzygium, which needs plenty of watering, is often spotted being grown as a hedge and planted in abundance along the highways and Ipoh's main roads. What many like about this plant is the appearance of striking red young leaves after trimming. Two pots are now adorning the side garden, facing the room windows and another plant at the backyard, shielding my tea corner from the bright evening sun.
