The Making of our 2026 Collection
It’s Time! Step Behind the Scenes as We Prepare Our 2026 Rhododendron Collection
From tiny cuttings to strong, mature 6L plants, each rhododendron follows a four-year journey through careful potting, pruning, and nurturing here in West Melton. This year we have 10 new varieties to our RhodoDirect Collection, with another 400 varieties of Rhododendron now available with the release of our 2026 Collection. Follow our journey as we prepare for our 2026 Collection in our latest blog. 
Nurturing Beautiful Rhododendrons for Your Garden
Hi, I’m Lisa, and Rhododendrons are my passion. At RhodoDirect, our West Melton nursery is open to the public, offering the chance to explore our beautiful display garden and shop a wide variety of rhododendrons and azaleas. For over 20 years, we’ve been proudly supplying gardeners across New Zealand with top-quality plants to brighten their gardens.
Spotlight | Alpine Rhododendrons
Small in size but big on impact, dwarf rhododendrons are true alpine rock stars. Discover why these tough, free-flowering beauties are perfect for small gardens, rockeries, and exposed spots — from their weed-suppressing carpets to their stunning bursts of spring colour.
March Garden Guides
As Autumn rolls in, we are now entering the prime Rhodo planting window. At RhodoDirect, all our plants are grown in pots — meaning you can plant anytime! But if you want to give your rhododendrons the best possible start, autumn and spring are ideal, giving your plant time to set its roots before the plants focus on redirecting their energy towards preparing for their annual bloom.
Hedging Rhododendrons
Thinking of planting a hedge but want something a little more exciting than the usual green wall?
This month we’re highlighting rhododendrons that do more than just look beautiful – they work hard in your garden too! Whether you’re after a lush screen to block out a view, muffle noise from the road, or divide your garden into rooms, we’ve got a fantastic selection of hardy, fast-growing varieties to choose from – perfect for creating structure and privacy, with the bonus of stunning blooms.
