Not looking healthy as we go into winter. Bought and transplanted this spring. Soil is somewhat higher in ph +/-7.5-7.75?

We don't usually recommend rocks for mulch. The sun's reflection will often make the site overly hot, plus they don't help retain moisture. Some of the leaf edges are brown, which can indicate too much heat or not enough water.
