I have several of these planted as foundation plants at the back of mixed beds. They will take anything from partial shade to full sun. The more sun, the more dense the foliage and more blooms. I'm surprised you're having trouble with them because they are usually easy plants. Are you watering them frequently until the roots get established? If you haven't already tried this, use diluted root stimulator on them once a week or so for a few weeks after planting. The only other suggestion I'd have is to plant them in the fall. That way the roots can get established before the heat of summer hits.

Here's a pic of mine used at the back of a bed. They have bat face cuphea, white plumbago, begonias and pentas in front of them.
