Drooping Osteospermums

I bought a few Osteospermums and although they are healthy otherwise, their flowers seem to droop a lot
They aren't allowed to dry out, but I just wondered if anyone has had a similar problem with theirs drooping?

One of mine is doing the same. Several purchased at the same time and planted in the same bed with the same conditions. I can only assume one had been over/under watered at the garden centre but didn't show at the time. I'll just have to see if it recovers.
Thanks Verdun, I've noticed that the compost in the pots they came in was dry and the surface caked, so the water had been running off. I've since re-potted them, but still the same thing is happening, I don't over-water, so don't think it's that.
Perhaps I might just put them into the ground, I've had them in terracotta pots for a couple of weeks now, but intend to put them into wall baskets shortly.
