Oh dear! You haven't been spraying weed killer have you? I think I would put at least one back in a pot and try to save it that way: digging one up might reveal any pests that have got in the soil, as well.

Looks like weedkiller spray to me too.

If you used Round-up of something to kill the weeds before you made the beds, your soil will be contaminated. It could also drift in as overspray from a neighbour or as ground runoff if it has rained right after use.

I haven't sprayed it with anything. And there are 3 other bushes doing the same thing. I'll try to change the photo so you can see.
