I recently planted four beautiful shrubs,but now two of them have drying wilted leaves spreading on them. Am I over watering or ??? All are planted in the same bed,receiving full sun.
Why is my Little Princess Spirea shrub fading away?
Spirea nipponica 'Snow Mound'
 Spirea x vanhouttei
    
 
Description: Spirea is a deciduous flowering shrub which has many varieties of flowers, foliage and some have graceful growing hadits.  There are about 70 species and as might be expected in such a large genu, vary greatly in height, form, and flowering times 
Flower: .Two flower forms.  The spring-blooming spireas usually are borne in umbels(clusters in which all flower stems start from one point and are about the same lenght.)  The summer-blooming sprieas are either flat-topped clusters or long plumy clusters borne at the tips of branches.  Colors range from white, to pink, to red. 
Foliage: Undistinguished leaves for most species, few have colored leaves in autumn and no decorative fruits. 
Misc. info: All spireas are easy to grow and have no particular pests.
