Growing beautiful gardens in the shade is easy to do, but shade is a relative term. In the home garden or home site there can be many types of shade. The nuances of each type of shade are well known to experienced gardeners, but for newbie, it's important to learn about how shade is created, whether it's all day or just at one time of day, and the density of that shade.
This article goes into these details from the gardener's point of view so you can go out and assess exactly what kind of shade you have and how it relates to the information on a plant tag at the garden center. That is vital to selecting a plant that grows, blooms and thrives in your shaded garden.
Once you understand your shade you can start looking at some of the great shade gardener bloomers. Here are some favorites...

Checking irrigation schedules, employing pest controls and pruning dead branches describe what to do with brown cedar branches. Location and pattern identifies the problem and its solution since one-sided and upper canopy browning speak of shallow roots in respective need of root rot-fighting fungicides and of drought-fighting supplementary irrigation. Horticultural oils against eggs and insecticidal soaps and miticides against adult spider mites and weevils resolve clumped bark- and branch-browning while pruning takes care of the scattered browning of old growth prefatory to replacement by new growth.
Potted azaleas are grown in almost pure peat so to keep the rootball moist submerge the pot in a bucket of water until the air bubbles stop rising the allow the excess water to drain off. Do not allow it to dry out again.
Forsythia is the foremost example of a yellow-flowering shrub because of its early spring blooms. Roses represent another prime example because of the beauty, fragrance and symbolism of their blooms. Abutilon (velvet-leaf), azalea, chimonanthus (ice flower), corokia (zigzag shrub), cytisus and genista (broom), hamamelis (witch hazel), hypericum (St. Johnswort), jasminum (winter jasmine), kerria, mahonia, potentilla (cinquefoil) and rhododendron serve as other beloved examples of yellow-flowering shrubs.
Birds eat it - get drunk - fall off the bush - get eaten by the cat. In that respect the berries are very fatal.
This link suggests that the berries are completely edible and can be used for jams and jellies http://plantanswers.tamu.edu/recipes/pyracanjelly.HTML while the Center for Poisen Control says the berries are "mildly" toxic and cause gastric upset in some people http://www.calpoison.org/public/plants-toxic.HTML. There are other links that suggest the berries are toxic:

So - unless you are a cat looking for a bird that has eaten too much - or unless you are a Texas Aggie with a taste for adventure - its probably best to avoid eating the berries.
The tall shrub/small tree that flowers in early spring is the dogwood. Its scientific name is Cornus florida. The pink flowering variety has the scientific name of Cornus florida var. rubra.
Guatemala and Mexico are the countries where poinsettias are grown. The plants in question (Euphorbia pulcherrima) grow natively in the two above-mentioned countries (as well as possible Costa Rica and Nicaragua) and naturalize to countries in Africa, the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Europe (either as an indoor or outdoor plant).

If you mean move from one place in the garden to another ..... at winter's end up to the point just before it puts out new spring leaves. (After the new leaves emerge, it's too late: these cannot be transplanted without loss). If you mean planting from a container-grown situation .... just about anytime you can get a shovel in the ground.
they just grow somewhere
i don't know
I'm trying to find out the answer too
This depends on many things. The position where it is growing could be too much in the shade. It may have been pruned at the wrong time of year. It may be suffering from lack of moisture,the first thing a plant jettisons when stressed is it's flower buds. Without knowing where it is growing it is impossible to be sure.
Within 12 inches (30.48 centimeters) of the ground within three weeks of the time that spring or early summer blooms discolor and shrivel describes how far back azaleas can be trimmed and the best time to do so. Maintenance pruning for minimal or moderate shaping is carried out with hand pruners. Extreme, severe pruning is done with hand saws or with loppers and followed up with a slow-release 12-6-6 fertilizer.
Holly trees and bushes are used for landscaping where you might want a perennial, broadleaf evergreen with red berries in the fall. Hollywood, of course, is useful for housing goofball actors.
Yes. The seeds develop inside the cotton boll. They are bred and sold by several seed companies under the name "cottonseed."
Damask roses are the kinds of shrubs which have both pink and white flowers. The deciduous shrub in question (Rosa v damascena) may mix pink, red, and white on one bloom or one branch of one shrub.
Oleander is poisous to humans, but not to the touch. You have to eat it or make a tea with it in order to be harmed. The most recent sad story I know was a family on a driving trip pulled over and roasted hotdogs on sticks cut from oleander. The smoke from that plant is dangerious too and, as I recall, the family perished. However, they're a hardy, attractive plant, and if you remember they're poisonous, you should be okay.
shrubs are smaller than trees. they have a woody stem and are less than six metres tall. the rose and hibiscus are some examples of shrubs. shrubs have a few stems that grow from the ground. unlike trees, the branches of shrubs grow close to the ground
Roses tolerate a wide range of conditions, they thrive om moderately fertile, humus rich, moist but well drained soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer and mulch in late winter and early spring and in spring a liquid fertilizer every three weeks. Watch out for pests and diseases.
