The plant was fine all winter and I just had 4 blooms before I put it outside for summer. But the leaves seem to be turning bronze. I do have new growth appearing. What should I do. I have removed leaves that appeared to be eaten by something.

You need to feed it . Go to garden center near you and look for miracle grow or store brand for blooming shrubs . They need to be acidic . This is good for ferns too. Mix one teaspoon to a gallon of water , pour at base of plant and repeat in two weeks. Then once a month til Sept.
You may have a insect infestation or it needs to be re-potted.
Thank you
Turn the leaves over and see if infested with bugs. If not then iron is low in plant . go to garden center and pick some up . Follow directions on bottle.
