Hesperaloe Parviflora Leaves yellowing

Planted a 5 gallon hesperaloe parviflora in May - she is in front of a painted (light color)/stuccoed brick wall on the west side of the yard.

she was doing well, flowering and produced a new stalk as well (she came with 2 stalks)- stalks have since stopped flowering and have only seed pods on them - she is on a drip with other succulents with 1 gallon emitter every 7 days - I have been giving supplemental water once during that 7 day period to help her get established - so her actual water was probably once every 4 days.

About 4 weeks ago noticed the base of some of the leaves yellowing, thought I would watch and see - went out of state for about 2 weeks and came back the other day to alot of yellowing of leaves, during this two week period she was just on the drip every 7 days - As well one of the clumps seems to be leaning like it is ready to fall over - so not firm in ground anymore - she gets full sun most of the day, with a few hours of shade here and there depending on the placement of the sun (shadows from house and trees)

Can't figure out if it is too much, too little water, sunburn, lack of nutrients - have searched and searched all over web and have found nothing about this. Just read about how hardy they are.

Any help or links to answers appreciated
