Hi,
In the south where we readily receive temps daily 90-100,
they are shade shrubs. I imagine yours is suffering damage from the
afternoon sun. Mine in filtered sun fold each afternoon to save water. With
the brown, I imagine they are just burnt like the rest of the country. Keep
them watered and I'm sure they'll survive. Most non southern perennials
look this during the summer in Atlanta.
Good Luck,
Laurie
