Gomphrena Brown Tipped Leaves :(

Bought these annuals on a whim. Was told they're easy to care for. They were doing well until about a week or so ago. The tips look dried out and brown, but I water them enough.

Does anyone know what might be ailing my poor Gomphrenas?

Thanks!

It's possible you are watering it too much and that it may not be getting enough sun, though it almost looks like the tips froze. Did the nighttime temperatures drop?

Gomphrena are really drought tolerant, they enjoy the heat and like to dry out between watering. I would try watering less and ensuring it gets plenty of sun & warmth. Hope this helps.
