Sounds like it needs more water to me. I think you need to water it regularly and thoroughly (PLENTY of water!) until it is established.

Agree with Beattie you need to water more.

It would actually be better to leave the hose or trickle at the base of the shrub for several hours, this will give the water a chance to soak into the ground all around the hebe.
