Vanilla Frappe

Vanilla Frappe (Michael Sutton, 2010) is a collector-grade Tall Bearded iris that commands attention with its refined, opalescent palette and couture-worthy form. Reaching 35" (89 cm) in late midseason, this memorable novelty features palest lavender standards and pale lavender style arms, set above crisp white falls punctuated by vivid tangerine orange beards and dramatic dark fuzzy horns. Heavily laced petals add sculptural dimension, while a pronounced sweet fragrance enhances its garden appeal. Bred from Designer Label x Barbaras Lace, Vanilla Frappe is a multi-award winner—Honorable Mention (2014), Award of Merit (2017), and Favorite Guest (2019)—making it a field-stopping, exhibition-ready addition for the discerning gardener. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm. Attributes: Fragrant, Laced, Novelty, Space Age Awards: Award of Merit, Favorite Guest, Honorable Mention
