Edraianthus pumilio, the silvery dwarf harebell, is a species of flowering plant in the family Campanulaceae, native to Dalmatia in southern Croatia. It is an herbaceous perennial growing to 2.5 cm (1 in), forming a cushion of hairy, silvery-green leaves and bearing solitary violet upturned bell-shaped flowers in summer. It requires extremely free-draining, preferably alkaline, soil, and is best grown in an alpine garden or rockery.[1][2]
The Latin specific epithet pumilio means "small in stature".[3]
It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4][5]
