Wilting White Cone Flower (echinacea)

I just bought some echinacea from the local nursery. It’s a good 12+ inches or so tall and already flowering. We planted in our front yard, and I gave it a good watering (as I was told to do), and the next day it looked wilted and the flowers look shriveled. Is this from taking it from pot to soil? Is there a way to help it recover?
