Hi Cheryl,
Before you planted, did you cut the leaves back to about 5 inches? If you didn't the leaves will look wilted and it takes the plant longer to establish. Yes water them, as long as the weather is good. Don't soak them, just keep the soil from drying out.

My plants look kinds scrubby, do i have to water them to wake them up a little bit. I sure hope they are not dying, lots of work they looked great when i put them in. Can someone answer me soon, do i give them a drink? Thanks for your help
