Curled leaves are also a symptom of stress, water, root shock if transplanted. Let the stem get slightly “woody” before you plant it in the ground. Allow it to weather the elements a little; this is called “hardening off” a transplant. It will be a bit more hardy then. Hope this helps. Kevin,

I'm just a sucker for the live herbs they sell at the grocery store. I buy them and they die, buy them again and put them someplace else and they die. This time I thought I had it figured out but a hail storm came, obliterated the plant, and as it resuscitated the leaves started to curl just as you said. When it stops raining, I'll go check for Whiteflies. Thanks! Thanks for the advice. I’m just a sucker for the live herbs they sell at the grocery store.
