If this is newly planted, like within this week, then it could be many things. It could be heat related, or overwatering trying to compensate for heat. It appears most like a fungal infection.

You will have to treat with a fungicide. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm [1]

They are, also, intolerant of full sun. They need partial shade, to full shade in order to flourish.
