This is an infection, likely from just a little too much watering.

These shrubs will not need extra water unless there is a severe drought, once established.

It will be best to only water once the soil dries out, very thoroughly, down to about 4 or 5 inches. This will not likely be very often.

From here, a fungicide will be necessary. These articles will help:
