Rhododendron ‘Senora Meldon’ is a stunning evergreen rhododendron renowned for its masses of delicate wisteria-blue flowers that cover the plant in spring. Flowering profusely in October, this beautiful variety creates an eye-catching display of soft blue blooms that stand out brilliantly against its neat foliage.

Unlike many larger-leaved rhododendrons, ‘Senora Meldon’ features smaller leaves which give it improved sun tolerance, making it a versatile choice for a wider range of garden situations. The foliage remains an attractive green through the growing season before developing beautiful light bronze tones during winter, adding year-round interest to the garden.

With its upright growth habit and manageable size, Rhododendron ‘Senora Meldon’ is ideal for woodland gardens, mixed shrub borders, specimen planting and cottage gardens. Reliable, hardy and free-flowering, it is a wonderful choice for gardeners looking to add soft colour and seasonal beauty to their landscape.

How to establish your Rhododendron Senora Meldon?

Position
Plant in full sun to partial shade. Thanks to its smaller leaves, ‘Senora Meldon’ tolerates more sun than many traditional rhododendrons, although protection from harsh afternoon sun is beneficial in hotter locations.

Soil
Prefers moist, well-drained acidic soil rich in organic matter. Incorporate compost and mulch regularly to maintain soil health.

Watering
Keep soil consistently moist while establishing. Water during extended dry periods, particularly through summer.

Feeding
Apply a specialist rhododendron or camellia fertiliser in spring after flowering to encourage healthy growth and next season's buds.

Spacing
Allow approximately 1.2–1.5m between plants to accommodate mature growth and ensure good airflow.

How to maintain your Rhododendron Senora Meldon once established?

Very little pruning is required. Remove spent flower trusses after flowering if desired and lightly shape the plant as needed.

Apply mulch annually to help retain moisture and maintain cool root conditions. Remove any dead or damaged branches during winter or early spring.
