Souci Fig

✓ Verified

France (traditional)

I was not able to find documented origin history for Souci through available research beyond its French name, meaning "marigold" or, separately, "worry/care" — likely a color or descriptive reference. If you have a source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
