Q.I planted a Hebe A. Prostrate Form in the stump of a tree I had cut down, I have no information for the care.

It looked good for a couple of months but now parts are starting to turn brown.
It has full sun and I have been watering it every day.
. Can I get information on how to save this plant and the proper care?

I'm thinking too much water. Is the plant in a pot sunk down in the trunk or is the trunk filled with potting soil and compost? It needs to be well draining or root rot can set in. I would let the soil dry out between waterings. Here is info that should help:
