I have two large planters that flank my french doors. I am looking to put two large shrubs that I can grow as standards that will be evergreen. I am going to put Ground Orchids in the bottom of the pots around the shrub. These planters are in pretty much full, but somewhat bright shade. If Camellias aren't the answer and you have another idea, I would love to hear it.

I would like it to get 4-6 feet tall. If it weeps some, that would be great. I can't get too wide because the planters are pushed close to the house and the doors.

Thanks.
