I'd look to starvation or dehydration first. Have you fed it and given it enough water?
I like these better before they flower

Hi - Thanks for the info - water not a problem wife religiously waters all baskets planters and beds - It was re-repotted to the big planter 2 months ago ( 75% compost 25% topsoil mix ) when purchased to allow for growth and has developed well - have only fed once since purchase with liquid "One Plant Food" that I have used previously on all my other flowering plants with no problem
Thanks Verdun - Definitely not dry - have trimmed off the yellow leaves today just in case there was some form of disease to try and minimise it - but seems this may be the norm ? - not really a chance of ground planting - we have made the garden all on raised beds and planters - thinking of maintenance being in our later years
If not under watering is there a possibility of over watering? Although they like moisture they don't like to be boggy and soggy - they need free draining soil.

Should my hebe heart breaker still be pink , its gone beige ?
