FOREST FLAME DYING???

We  have a 10 years + mature plant, which we recently repotted into Ericaeous soil  with good drainage, it has been flowering with the usual white flowers for years, with new growth etc. Since we repotted it, into a  bigger planter.( the plant is 5 ft high & 5 ft wide), all the flowers are turning  from white to bronze, then brown. Some of the lower leaves are turning yellow too. It had been & now is,  planted against a fence. All we have done is move it from the front garden to the rear. It is not in direct sunlight , nor in shade. We have given it subsequented iron tonic, as suggested by a qualified horticulturist. But it does'nt seem to be perking up. Although it is still producing new growth.

    Perhaps it didn't like being moved. Maybe there was some root damge during the move and it needs to recover. A plant will sacrifice any flowers or leaves in a time of stress.
