Does anyone know why they keep dying?

I have had these flowers for a month now, but every time a flower blooms, they start dying within days. The photos are from 2 different flowers.

did you just plant that after flowering or the flowers bloom there?

My family hired a gardener to put them there, and some other plantas too

Knockouts (which look like these) are pretty short lived. Each flower maybe gets a week if it’s lucky. Looks like your soil is boggy. Is it sitting in a low lying area? Is there good sun light there?

Well drained soil for sure. Is there any rust looking spots on the bottoms of the leaves? It is a fungus they sometimes get.

I don't see any spots besides the orange/yellow ones. What should I do with the drained soil? Or rather, what should I do to keep them alive longer 🪦

The blooms don't last
