Barb, it can suffer if there is a rock or other obstruction 
below.  Did you double dig this bed?  There also might be an 
airpocket if the soil isn't real crumbly.  I'd dig the whole 
thing up and investigate the area.  At the same time you can 
have a look at the roots, which will likely tell you a lot.

At that point you can decide whether to replant it there or move 
it.  Since there is green, give it a nice home with lots of 
water and prune it way back.  It might survive for you yet.

Good luck with it.
