I don't know this plant, are those flower spikes soft and feathery or hard and spikey ?
They're a pretty colour.

More like soft and spikey.
I just hope my little specimen ( originally from Australia)lasts this Winter.I think I'll have to wrap it or something.

Nice shot. I like your black border :)

Thanks .I mostly put borders on the pictures.
The plant is continuing to do well.I don't know if one is supposed to deadhead this plant or not?

I don't know it at all. I would suggest that it is never any harm to deadhead unless you want seed. Being from Australia, I would be surprised if it overwintered in Canada, but with protection, maybe. (one thing for sure, it is not a Berberis, as it has been catagorised!!)

Sorry for linking it with the Bereris,as I can't seem to post it in my garden plants section without linking it to some other plant.That's why I don't have too many plants posted here in this category.

Yep I want seed...so i guess I'll just let this plant do it's thing.

I sympathise, Rhodea, I have not got the hang of this either.
