Camellias leaves are distinctively larger than Sasanqua leaves. Camellias grow best in shade to part sun, morning sun being better for them than afternoon sun. Sasanquas will grow from sun to shade but perform best in a sunny spot. Camellias and Sasanquas require rich, well-drained soil with an acid pH. Rich refers to soil with organic matter like mulch, compost, peat, etc present or added at the time of planting. Well-drained is simply a raised or sloped location so the below ground soil does not stay excessively wet after irrigating or rainfall.
Acid pH means the pH level of the soil is below 7 5. The best way to find out your soils pH is to have a soil test done by LSU, we have the kits at our locations.
With these three ingredients in place, Camellias and Sasanquas will grow a strong root system and in turn will perform well in your landscape for many years. Home Decor. Holiday Decor.

To answer your question regarding shutters: For shutters to look authentic they need to be large enough to look as if they could close over the windows. The shutters on the window to the left of the front door look OK but the shutters on the bay window are extraneous as they could not functionally close. Authentic wood shutters and hardware would be more attractive than vinyl shutters can't tell from the posted image what you have.
If you add a window planter box under the window to the left make it wider than the window and as deep s the base of the bay window and paint it the same color. If you do make a wood handrail, paint it white or the dark gray of the shutters.
Ethan Allen thank you but I want the trees in order to block the view of the neighbor's house - I'm just wanting to remove the far left tree due to the unsightly red balls that drop everywhere. Legacy I'm pretty sure one tree is a carrotwood but I'll take close ups to confirm.
