Tarree, the heat wave is NOT sudden! Yes, we've had days and days of 95-100* weather, but all the shrubs get underground watered in a drought. The sun is gone by 3:00 o'clock where the Starry Nights have been growing for 10 years. I have two 2-y-o Starry Nights in another location. So far, they are very happy..... Biggest shock was the speed with which they dropped dead. If I had known that they were in trouble, I could have made them some chicken soup, or SOMETHING..!!! Thank heavens, no gophers.
