Dying Fountain Grass

My fountain grass was nice and green when I planted it in the front of the house. Now four days later, the grass is drying up. Our weather here has been humid and in the high 80’s and I have given all my plants water every day. Am I giving it too much or too little water? I have mulch around it to help keep the moisture. HELP.

First of all, I would cut the plant back, removing all dead or dying growth. This should help rejuvenate the plant. Most likely the plant is in shock.
