My black eyed susan?

Question

I bought a beautiful plant last week with tiny buds and some flowers on it, planted it in the flower garden (full sun) and now it looks like its almost dead. I thought this was a prarie flower and was tolerant of sun and heat? The leaves are wilted and flowers and buds are gone. I know sometimes that transplanting flowers from a container is stressful, but nothing has bounced back!

Answer 1

Just give them time, they don't take well to transplanting in the heat even thought they are drought tolerant once they are established.

Answer 2

You didn't do anything wrong. It's transplant shock! Leave it alone and let it recover. In 1 to 3 weeks the plant will sprout back from the botttom and flower again. Also keep it moderately moist  and it'll come back.

Answer 3

full sun isnt the cause of it. could be soil composition. best bet would be to take a soil sample and get it analized. i think you can buy a kit from lawn&garden suppliers, or you could go to a plant nursery and get it done there. hope it works out.

Answer 4

i dont know where you live but maybe your sun is just too bright for it?  it might need full light but partial shade for example.
