A Mountain Laurel in the front yard lasted about 2 years. An Azelea

In the shady backyard, a drooping Leucothoe from last summer is slowly
fading away. One Japanese Andromeda from the spring is pretty much
gone and the other is looking brown on the bottom 1/2.

What's your soil pH? How often do you water? How have you transported
the shrubs home? (wind-whipped in the back of a truck or cargo trailer
isn't good.) Are they getting the sort of light they should?
