What Is Causing My "Nerium Oleander" Shrub's Leaves To Turn Yellow With Brown Spots?

This is a recently planted (~4 mos) shrub. I live in north central florida. Don't have the best soil. Predominantly hard packed clay with poor drainage. Any thoughts??

    I found this page detailing information on growing oleander on gardenguides.  Give it a quick read, your climate and soils apparently are not the problem.  From the page, "The plants are best adapted to the west coast, southern states, Florida, and Texas and will withstand dry conditions and wind, as well as salty, marshy soils, making them popular in coastal regions."

    It goes on to suggest some things you could try to improve drainage or rule out other possible causes for the brown leaves.  

    Hope this help!
