Its called Heuchera Rust Bloomer (Puccinia Heucherae) specific to Heucheras and Saxifraga and it wont spread to any other plants...The fungicide needed contains Triadimefon or Thiophanate-Menthyl (FYI)...I couldnt find this fungicide, so i dug it the plant out of the border, cut all the leaves off, repotted it and sprayed it with the fungicide i had...It seems ok now, oh and i dont allow it to get too much rain and it needs plenty of air circulation....Bet you're wishing you hadn't mentioned it now...lol
Bjs, that's what i was thinking... pale coloured Heucheras are more susceptible to this type of rust...

Thanks for that info Moti..and I'm gald you mentioned it :o)At least I am aware now.
Cinders,have you had rust on any of yours ?

Well, not that I am aware of, but my Lime Ricky did have a few browny leaves, which I thought was scorch. Nice to be aware though.
