Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I cannot see to identify the issue.

There are a few things that could be wrong, though.

Usually, if this is in container, this is caused by lack of nutrients. They are semi heavy feeders, and like to be fed a few times per year.

If this is in ground, I would look more to environmental factors that are leading to a decline.

Here are some articles that will help:
