I like that colour certainly looks healthy now,Bloomer if we have much more rain we will all have rust.

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...

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.
