They do like to be kept moist and your soil looks extremely poor and dry. Did you dig compost in before you started planting?

Hi, I added a few bags of compost last spring, but haven put anything in this year apart from some tomato feed. I am thinking its going to be a start from scratch job round here next spring too, double dig it all and give the plants a better chance x this border is quite wet soul, very sticky. I did water it well during the warm weather x

Tomato food is not good for flowering plants - it is, as it says, for tomatoes so that they produce lots of fruits.

Oops...... I read it was good for flower too :$ another lesson learned x

It is good for feeding bulbs after they have flowered and before the leaves die back it is then feeding the actual bulb.

Gardening with friends since

I lost a few heucheras when I first inherited them with my garden, until I joined this site and rapidly discovered they prefer shade. I transferred the survivors and they romped away! Is this a sunny border?
Duh! I just read the comment on your previous photo (I'm browsing in reverse order!), so shade obviously isn't the answer. Sorry!
