Black and crispy BB?

My butterfly bushes have done the darndest thing this year. Went from green and somewhat chewed by earwigs to brown, dusty, crispy, to BLACK dusty very crispy leaves. A few very pathetic looking growing tips and the rest, alas, is toast.

I watered the uppermost bush deeply and the lowermost one (much younger and smaller) went from 'only healthy looking one' to 'crunch' in three days. :( Hasn't been particularly hot.

There *is* a gopher hole under there, and the chickens have been dustbathing around and under that upper bush...?

Ideas welcome!

(And welcome back Ladobe!! I thought you'd left for good and missed you!! Welcome home!)
