I have just received the rostrate Dart's escallonia bush that I ordered and I am disappointed. The flowers do not match at all those in the photo on the website. Neither the same colour, nor the same shape. Hopefully, the evergreen foliage of the bush I received will be as I want and as indicated on the website.

Description
An original bush, native to South America, the Escallonia Dart's Rosy Red produces rich carmine pink flowers in the heart of summer.
A vigorous shrub with numerous arched branches, the Escallonia 'Dart's Rosy Red' forms a dense bush, with a rounded habit, as tall as wide, measuring 2m (6 ft 7 in) to 2.50m.
Its carmine-pink flowers, in the shape of a semi-open tube, bloom from the beginning of summer. Its small and ovate leaves measure 3-4cm (1.2-1.6 in) in length and 1 to 2cm (0.4 to 0.8 in) in width. They are evergreen and shiny, dark green.
Originating from the Andes mountain range, the escallonia is hardy down to -10C°, beyond that, it will need to be planted in a sheltered location, against a south-facing wall or protected by a hedge to the south or west. It is easy to grow and likes cool, well-drained, and rich soil. Easily placed, it can be planted in the back of a flower bed or on a terrace. It is often used as a privacy hedge in temperate regions,
It requires very little maintenance: a simple pruning with shears just after flowering will be necessary to maintain its compact habit, older plants can be pruned more heavily at the end of winter when there is no longer any risk of frost.

Planting and care
Escallonia Dart's Rosy Red appreciates sunny and semi-shaded exposures. It tolerates drought and sea spray as well as strong winds. Plant it in a light, acidic, and well-drained soil. It dislikes heavy and limestone soils and does not like stagnant moisture, especially in winter. If the soil is too limestone, it can be affected by chlorosis. When planting in a hedge, space the Escallonia 60 to 80 cm (23.6 to 31.5 in) apart. Trim them to one-third of their height in the first few years during their establishment so that they grow compact and densely. In a hedge, trim branches that disrupt symmetry when the hedge reaches the desired height. You can trim it into a ball shape. In colder regions, plant it in a protected location, south against a wall or west at the back of a bed or in a hedge.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
