yellow leaves on potted dahlias

I have two window boxes of dahlias (almost full sun). One looks good and one has yellowing leaves and shriveled buds??!!
I can't find anything on this forum about potted dahlias. P.S. I just came back from 10 days away and a neighbor was watering for me. The boxes were extremely heavy (lots of water). Could that be it? Thanks.

Yes overwatering sounds like the culprit. Let them dry out and quickly - do they drain well?
