Gardenia and Sweet Shrub


             I have a standard gardenia and a Sweet Shrub (Magnolia fiscata)
which I  bought and planted two  months ago  along the fence line on the
south side of my yard in full sun. They are both looking very pitiful with
leaf drop and very little new growth.  Did I plant them in the   wrong
 place?  They get full sun  all day. Could  it be   too wet with  all of the
this rain we've  had or could  it be the pH? Please help, I really  want
 them to  make it. I also have a miniature gardenia on the west side of my
house almost under  the eaves. It's shaded by some hidden gingers when they
come up inthe spring.   It looks pitiful too.  I bought and planted it the
same  time as the others. I also  have an Angel's trumpet  on the same fence
line and  it's doing well. The soil in Louisiana is a terrible gumbo clay.
 Somebody please  help!
