It is probably best to read below Kris, and then decide yourself.
It help me ID for sure my Hepatica x media 'Buis' (which is sterile). There is a bit of mix up with the names. On North America trades there is another H. 'Blue Jewel' offered
which is different than the mentioned H. x media 'Blue Jewel'.

Thanks Gabriela.
The nursery Free spirit offers one under "blue jewel". But I am not sure whether it is of hybrid origin or not.
Good to know" buis" is sterile. The one I have makes lots of seeds.
