Shrivelled petal tips on Columbine

My indoor columbine bloomed today for the first time. But along with the outdoor ones, the tips of the petals are shrivelled and unhealthy looking. The ones in Google don't have the tips withered off like mine.

Does this mean I'm watering too much/little/often or fertilizing too much/little? Or something else?

I can't say for certain, but the colubmines that I grew were well situated and grew beautifully, in a heavy, clay soil (not fully fertile), that stayed farily moist.

Therefore, I'd think not enough water.
