Help!
Not sure if this is the right forum, but I figure that y'all know our region best.

Just starting this garden. Having trouble with this Rudbeckia hirta Moreno. I have 2, they are planted next to each other, one is all wilting while the other seems to be doing okay. Put them in 10 days ago.
Soil is moist not wet (I may have been overwatering a bit up to Sunday - I finally started using my finger to check for dampness duh) and it has been super hot here (as you all know).

Do I wait? Do I move it? Is there something else going on?

I will post another picture showing the 2 together. They are planted in a small area that also has a Rudbeckia hirta 'Indian Summer" in it, which is also new (bought it huge at our local plant shop).
