Vanity

Vanity (Ben Hager, 1974) is a legendary Tall Bearded iris that embodies refined sophistication and enduring charm. This award-winning cultivar stands at an impressive 36" (91 cm), producing early to late season blooms in a luminous, soft pink self, accented by a delicate light coral-red beard. The gently ruffled petals create a sculptural, gallery-worthy effect, making Vanity a true centerpiece in any garden. With a distinguished pedigree from 'Cherub Choir' x 'Pink Taffeta', Vanity has earned top honors including the American Dykes Medal (1982), Award of Merit (1978), and multiple Nelson Awards. Notably, it is a rebloomer, with repeat bloom reported in California and Virginia (Rebloomer Unknown Zone), offering extended performance for select climates. Vanity’s pastel radiance and aristocratic bearing make it a collector-grade addition, perfect for those seeking a bloom with both heritage and high-impact beauty. Available at Amethyst Creek Farm, this iris is a must-have for gardeners who appreciate pedigree, presence, and a truly memorable floral display.
