‘Cherisa’ is a refined addition to the Frostkiss® series, bred for exceptional garden performance and retail appeal. With a compact habit similar to ‘Charmer’ and late-season blooms timed to follow early varieties, ‘Cherisa’ allows growers and garden centers to extend hellebore color sales well into the season.

Its picotee blooms feature elegantly ruffled petals—white edged in magenta—creating a high-contrast, premium look that stands out in retail displays. This variety offers structural foliage interest year-round, with dark, evergreen leaves that complement the late winter to early spring floral display.

Compact, hardy, and adaptable, ‘Cherisa’ thrives in part to full shade and performs reliably in USDA Zones 5–9. Its later bloom schedule aligns with ‘Dana’s Dulcet’ and ‘Dorothy’s Dawn’ for coordinated merchandising, while its coloring appeals to consumers seeking something unique and sophisticated.
