This can indicate a phosphorus deficiency, but I notice that it is mulched with cedar. The soil could be too acidic for the uptake of phosphorus. Here are some articles to help:

Bushdoctor, i applied some phosphorus about a week ago because i assumed thats what it was. Im not sure if this is cedar or not, im sure you are correct, its just a red colored scotts mulch from the hardware store. I kept the mulch back about 2 inch all the way around the crown of the plant. There is literally another gerbra daisy 2 feet from it in the same soil that looks amazing. Over double the size
