Escallonia has a short lifespan - for a plant. They typically live 10-15 years. These shrubs are reasonably adaptable and should survive in your zone 5. I have them growing in my Seattle area garden and they're doing fine. Hope this information helps you determine whether or not to plant Escallonia.
