Got them from a nursery and transplanted them into the ground a couple of days ago. Both plants have since started withering. It has been pretty sunny here with temperatures close to 30 deg C and the plant gets more than 8 hours of light. Might have underwatered them the first day but I had soaked the ground itself before planting. The plants have been watered the last 2 nights. How can I save them?

they are probably overwatered. best chance is just to leave them alone for a while so they can dry out.
Sometimes even if you water them sun is so hard that plants can’t tolerate, specially lantana (from what I have experienced). Then, maybe you give too much water and was a double stress for plant 😅
Let the upper soil dry and see if they recover 🙂
you don’t need to water every day. you actually shouldn’t. overwatered prob
Give them time. What are they? Some may look like they’ve died, but will start shooting out new growth.
They just need time to adjust
Give it time to adjust from the transplant. Don’t over water.
