Jardin d'iris et de plantes vivaces

The Jardin d'iris et de plantes vivaces sits tucked within the Jardin des Plantes, defined by its long, rectangular beds that burst into color each spring. It replaced what was once a formal medicinal garden, shifting the focus toward the sheer variety of the iris genus. In the late twentieth century, gardeners rearranged these plots to showcase a collection of hundreds of species. A single, weathered stone plaque marks the boundary, noting the legacy of the botanists who first cataloged these specimens here.
