Well it's nearing the end of blooming season, just a normal part of the life cycle. You might be able to get one more round of blooms if you pinch off dead or dying flowers so the plant can start working on pushing out new ones.

This time of year is when nurseries, florists, etc have their big end-of-season sales. If you got this one at a discount (I'm guessing you did) it's because it's an annual and has already been in bloom for several weeks.
