Why are some of my Gerber Daisy's wilting?

I live in SE North Carolina, one mile from the ocean, so we have hot, humid weather.
My flower bed got tilled up and lots of new soil and mulch last year. This year I put in two gerbera daisies about 10 inches apart. One is doing great and the other wilts almost every day. They came from the same nursery. Any ideas?

It almost sounds like the one isn't getting or keeping enough moisture throughout the day. -

Gerberas need full sun- are they getting at least 6 hours of sun a day? Are they getting equal amounts of water? -

Plants are like people, all different. Try and nurse it along, hopefully it will do better once its roots take hold.- See 1 previous

They need full hot sun and plenty of water. Sounds like the sickly one isn't getting as much as the other. Have you tried cutting it back? I've had problems with these in the past and cut them back to soil level and they came back to life brilliantly!
