Geranium Rozanne wilting

Good afternoon.
I have (for the first time) planted a number of Geranium Rozanne (planted in autumn and up until now, appear to be very healthy).

They all have, just today, wilted in the sun.  They appear to be watered sufficiently.

Anybody any ideas?
Thanks
Mike (slightly worried)

    They do wilt a bit in strong sunshine. They should perk up in the evening. Keep them watered

    I agree with B3 ... they can grow a bit ‘lush’ early on and then wilt in the first real sunny spell. They’ll toughen up.
