This happened to me too! I planted with very good organic garden soil. At first the wilted . I watered them and 3 hours later they were perky and upright. But now thd lower leaves are brown and dying. I'm going to try planting them in pots with drainage rather thN the ground. I got bee balms at the same time which have sturdier stalks and similar lookig flowers and they are kicking butt! Super sturdy , upright and seem to just endure a lot more. I'm going to switch out the Astros for more bee balm
In the garden and nurse the 3 a stirs back to health . Maybe ur soil is thd problem. In OH it's like clay
