Moonflowers not surviving

Last year, I transplanted moonflower seedlings to a place by my back porch where they'd have a nice trellis to climb.

They limped along and then eventually died.

This year I transplanted healthy young plants to a spot in front next to a wall and a fence where they'd have something to climb and they'd get morning light.

They did slightly better. One even developed a flower, although I never saw it bloom. Then they dried up and died.

What am I doing wrong? Do they just not like the hot, dry Colorado weather? I've heard that the scent is fantastic, and I'd like to be able to grow these.
