I recently planted a border of Mezoo plants in my old wagon. I spent a half of a fortune. To be nice to them when I planted them, I added some Osmocote into the soil and watered them in.
Now, there all wilted, droopy...and look awful.
What happened?
Will they come out of it with some sun ? Or are they a loss?
I had some in a large pot last year, and they were beautiful.

I think you have planted them outside too soon. They can tolerate temperatures in the 40's and 50's for a short time but are basically a plant for hot weather. They also do not need to be fertilized and need well drained soil. They cannot tolerate wet feet. All you can do now is ignore them; do not water; do not feed. Hopefully with the warmer weather ahead they will recover.
