Why is my Mock Orange Dying

I brought this plant about 3 months ago and it was fine until recently.  It now seems to be dying and the leaves dropping (see pictures).  It did not flower this year.  Can anyone tell me what the problem is please?

    How was the planting site prepared and how much has it been watered?  This has been a very warm summer .... so far image

  • We did prepare the ground and have been watering it every 3/4 days.  Thought this would be enough but maybe not?image

    How much water?  I'd be giving  shrub planted last April/May at least a bucket full of water every other day in my free-draining loam; every day in hot spells if the soil felt dry.
