Carolann,
As long as you are getting new shoots and they look healthy and green, then
everything is probably okay. Did you plant them in sun or shade? They don't
do as well in the shade. Did you give them plenty of water when you first
planted them? Even though they don't need a lot of water after they are
established, when first planted they need water to help the roots. Best of
luck.
