Heuchera Tiramisu problem

I recently bought 2Heuchera “tiramisu “ at a garden show, now one of them is looking sickly and on inspection there seem to be spores on the underside of the leaves. Should I take off the effected leaves or is it inoffensive?

Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.

    If it’s not vine weevils it’s rust with those things. 

    Keep it away from any others you have as it’s airborne. 

    Chop off the leaves and don’t compost. 

    You can try spraying with a fungicide. I saved one doing that a few years back. 

    I’ve got three left out of about 15. Rust free and in pots covered with grit. 

    I will just admire other people’s from now on. 😂

    Hi, agree, rust. Green Man has covered it, but here's a web site:

    I think I would be asking for a refund from the seller...

    Oh wonderful! Another way to kill them! I’ll give them a good haircut and see what happens. Can’t get a refund as it was a plant fair and I’ll probably never see the seller again! Thanks for the quick answers as always.
