This sort of sudden decline in summer of Buddleia and Anisodontea
and your mention of scheduled irrigation, makes me suspect that
water molds may be the problem. Root and crown rots can take these
and other quick drainage lovers out in a hurry in summer when these fungi are
most active. Every other day or even every fourth day
sounds like too frequent an irrigation schedule for established plants of both
of the above. Nan, the one you lost was the one in part sun and it would require
even less water I would think, and
if its been extra humid the plants will need even less since their
evapotransporation rate would drop. It might be a good idea to check the soil
before you irrigate next to see if additional water is really needed. What are
your soils like (drainage, composition...)?

Interesting that you are asking this question right now, as one of my
buddleias seems to have bit the dust in the course of a week or two.
I have two buddlea "golden glow," both yellow -flowered beauties.
Both get watered once every 4 days on drip irrigation, both were
about 7 feet tall and beautiful, one in full sun and one in half-day
sun. The leaves on the one in half day sun suddenly turned yellow
and the entire thing seems to have died. This is similar to the
sudden death suffered by not one, but two anisodontea bushes in the
last few years -- both about this time of year. It has been
unusually humid here in San Diego and I wonder if that has anything
to do with it. By the way, the anisodontea and the buddlea were in
two different areas of the garden.
