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 Greekhedraios (sitting) and anthos (flower).
Ten species of the genus Edraianthus are often placed in genus Wahlenbergia instead.[citation needed] Selected Edraianthus species are also placed in Muehlbergella, Halacsyella or Hedraeanthus by some botanists. Campanula parnassica is sometimes classified as Edraianthus parnassicus.
