I never grew this bush, But still have some opinions.
It is late September, already, so maybe the plant is going into overwinter dormancy.
You don't detail when you planted it.
Where,, (sunny, or shade)
Type of soil in your yard/garden, and possible PH factor.
Did the plants come with instructions, and were you able to follow, and plant accordingly?
Contact the supplier, and ask questions. They do have a One Year Guarantee.
When I planted some potted evergreen trees in the past, I dug a hole quite oversize. Then I used about 5 bags of purchased bagged TopSoil. (the entry level cheap stuff, like $2per bag). Planted the tree, and put a round plastic garden edging, to form a raised Ring, (4 inch), and mulched with natural shredded mulch. I chose natural rather than Dyed Red stuff.
Trees doing well. Of course watering is essential especially in the early years until roots grow deep.
