Brown, crispy leaves

Question from Laura Waller

Help! We replanted a lot of our garden earlier this year. Most of the plants are doing really well, but our Actinidia seems to be really suffering. The leaves are really brown and crispy and I can't seem to bring it back.
It is planted against an East facing brick wall with some Verbena and Allium.
Can anyone help me?
