Question Alamandas?

Has anyone had any positive experience with keeping an alamanda alive? We're on our second one and I think it is fading fast. Initially we added some 'Soil Sulpher' to the hole where we planted it at the suggestion of the plant man at Porters and for several months it bloomed and looked like it might survive. Last month its leaves took on a yellow tint and the leaves started thinning along with decreased blooms. The man at Porters suggested spraying the leaves with Miracle Gro Blue, so we tried that. Well, it looks pretty bad. Any suggestions or should we just pull the plug on it and plant something else?
