Euphorbia problem

in Problem solving
I have two Euphorbia Amygdaloides "Robbiae".
They were bought and planted about 6 weeks ago and are on a bank, 10 ft apart.
While one looks healthy, the other has leaves which are starting to die off.
How do I stop this and return the plant to full health ?
Thanks

    @powderworks I think E Robbiae is struggling with the heat and strong sun light.I have the same problem with a clump of mine. I have made a note to move it to a more shadier spot this Autumn.  It will soon develop new fresh leaves. If you have a real problem with the leaves dying back cut stem to the ground. Remember gloves as sap is an irritant.

    I agree, the species is a woodland plant
