Lupin leaves are dying!!

i bought some lovely peach lupin recently and planted them in quite a large trough planter however even though I'm watering them ever night the leaves seem to be wilting and dying. I can't see any bugs and I did treat with a vine weevil/ Lilly beetle solution as I've had problems with grubs before however I can't see any. Any help is appreciated before I lose my lovely lupins (that weren't cheap!). Thanks in advance

How long have you had them? Have you been watering every night even if it has not been sunny? Are they in direct sunlight?
It could be that you are either overwatering them or they have had a shock being repotted and can't cope with hot sun all day. It's always best if you do repot something, especially in this hot weather, that you put it somewhere shady for a few days so that it can recover.
I have put them in a spot where they will receive a good amount of sunshine but also some shade as the sun moves round as my shed casts a shadow I do water them every night unless there has been heavy rain and I am careful to try to not overwater them. as far as I know there is good drainage in the planter they are in
