If it is in full sun the recent hot dry weather may have been too much for it - they are woodland plants and prefer a little shade with shelter from strong wind and sun.

Also is it in a container or in the ground?

Thankyou for your info, I did wonder if that was the problem, will it recover itself next year.

It is in the ground, next to our garden pond.

You could try giving it a good mulching.
