I don't know about the Hepaticas, but rust on the jacks is NOT good.
It is a virulent and non-treatable disease. Only recourse is removal
and destruction of the affected leaves. Often the tuber will recoup
and live, as it is not affected (at least as far as I know - at least
initially) but that rust spreads quickly.
