dogwoods looking ruff !

Sorry 'bout that folks, 'dog'woods looking 'ruff'. Hey ho
I have some newly planted dogwoods, planted around 2 months ago. I don't expect them to be looking their best but they are looking a bit too tatty. Mainly leaves looking a little brown/soggy around the edges and some a bit curly.
Do they like any particular soil conditions ? Is that likely to be a problem ?

Hi there, I don't think they are very fussy. But the weather has been a bit odd. As long as they are kept watered I think they will improve.

 

Hi and thanks, and for a moment there I thought it was from 'poodle' !
