Hi Frances,
Looks like sun scald to me. Some plants can be damaged by harsh sunlight. Some garden plants can slowly be adapted by moving plants gradually into garden conditions; others need to be protected from harsh sunlight throughout their life.
Carefully remove the damaged leaves and leaving the smaller newer leaves. I predict it will bounce back over time.
Good luck!
