Iris en Provence (Var, France)

The inverted S in the name of the nursery was a graphic creation of the founder, Pierre Anfosso. Iris en Provence® is a registered trademark.

Created in 1974 by Pierre Anfosso and his wife Monique (1974), the nursery moved to Hyères in 1979. Since 2005, was managed by Laure Anfosso (owner). She retires in October 2022. The nursery, irisenprovence.com (e-shop) and iris-en-provence.fr (Online Resources) are definitively closed.
In the 2010s, the heritage of Iris in Provence was digitized (registration certificates, catalogues) and the cultivars progeny had been published on iris-en-provence.fr. Since 2013, the lists are annually updated. Converted into mind maps, PDF are available for download, as well as catalogs (PDF).
