See you next week Chicago. Should be fun

I started these from seeds indoors back in late February. Planted them in late May. They were doing well a couple weeks after planting. We’ve recently gotten a good amount of rain. Now when the sun hits them they wilt and come back and look great in the evening once they get shaded.

What could be causing them to lose water and wilt. This was taken when outdoor temps were 65 so it’s definitely not heat stress but next week is supposed to hit 90. I give them a slow release fertilizer once a month and every other week give them a basic fertilizer that I mix in the watering can. The area is covered in a natural bark mulch that was put down last season. Ground has plenty of moisture making me wonder if there’s root rot but everything is planted on the side of a hill so excess water should run right off. I’ve had this issue previous seasons but not until temps hit the mid 80s.
