These are my favourite flowers. This year we treated ourselves to a plant from a garden centre. It wasn't exactly cheap but it's been a disaster. The instructions are ground or pot. We've looked after it the same as our other plants. Does anyone know what we can do to save it? Thanks.

I planted some in the garden as they were beautiful in April May and June. Not looking so good now.
They grew to about 16/18 inches. They should be wonderful next year. I do love them.

They are beautiful and really good 'do-ers'.

I am no expert but I wonder if the pot is in full sun and the roots got too hot in recent days?

I think this is what happened to my canna lily and it has revived now I have moved it so the pot is shaded by another one in front of it.
Good luck!
