African Daisy Wilting. Please Help!

18 years ago

Hi all, I just purchased an african daisy for my moongarden. I planted it last night and it looked all healthy and perky. But today the flowers are drooping and wilting. It is in a very sunny location and today is warm, about 85 degrees. Everything I have read says that they are drought tolerant and love the heat. I watered it well when I planted it. Maybe I watered it too much? Or maybe its in shock? should I give it some vitamin b? If anyone could help Id greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

Nicole

They are drought tolerant and love the heat AFTER they have established a strong root system. Shade it this summer. Vb wouldn't hurt it either.
