Edraianthus species are native to mountain regions of the Balkan, including Bosnia, Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia, and as far as Romania, Italy and Greece. They are small perennial plants, with tufts of grassy leaves and fine bell-shaped flowers, usually blue. They are often used as ornamental plants in rock gardens. The genus name is derived from the Greek hedraios (sitting) and anthos (flower).
