All was well until two or three weeks ago. The plants *loved*
the late rains we got in May, tripling in growth within a few
weeks. But now some of the Terra Cotta ones (only those; not
the other variety) are wilting and dying.

They need absolutely PERFECT drainage.

I've been watering
them regularly; even daily or twice a day during a couple of
recent heat spells.

Were you checking the moisture before watering, or just looking
at a calendar to decide if the plants needed it?
