You could try moving it to a more sheltered place :-)

I have three hebe caledonia which didn't like the exposed position they
were in, and yet the red edge hebe's were fine there. I moved the
caledonia round the house to a sheltered E-S facing coner by the porch,
and they have grown well (albeit slowly) and are flowering as we speak.
