Does anyone have a tropical wisteria?

I'm in Florida, bought a 'tropical wisteria' which is supposed to be a native plant. It looked very healthy when I bought it, but since planting it, (approx 6 weeks ago) the leaves are withering and going brittle and in some cases, they are completely brown. There is no new growth on it at all. I don't think there's anything wrong with the soil because other plants around it are doing just fine. It can't be lack of water because it has rained pretty much every day here, and when it hasn't, I've watered it. It gets full sun in the morning, filtered sun in the afternoon. Help, please!

Does anyone have a tropical wisteria?
Tropical Wisteria (Miletta reticulata) is a tender perennial winter hardy to Zone 8. It requires full sun to part shade in well drained, fertile soil %26amp; Needs sturdy climbing support as it develops very woody vines that can become extremely heavy. It needs well drained soil, so if you have been getting a lot of rain %26amp; the soil isn't draining, that could be the problem





During growing season water frequently and fertilize with a water based fertilizer at least every 2 weeks.
