    The soil may have been an issue. If the soil was not light enough to allow good drainage and oxygen to the plant roots it may have stunted the growth. Watering only once in this time period seems to indicate heavy soil that is not draining.

    Plant them out and see how they do.

    This is very common during the hottest times of summer unless they get some afternoon shade. I assume it is well-watered. I have not known the leaf drop to affect bloom or next year's plant. That's the good news!
