"...but there has been no crossing that I noticed."
"huge honking hepatica"

It sounded like a tetraploid (chromosomes in sets of four). In some genera
when crossed with diploid produce seedless plants.  It isn't

The tetraploids are
     H. henryi
     H. transsilvanica
     H. yamatu

The hexaploid (six sets) is
     H. asiatica ssp. pubescens
