In our warm zones, I don't think the cannas care when we move them (as long as they aren't so tall that they tip over)!

I helped my sister-in-law plant some on Sunday, & I'd bet that she'll have flowers this summer.

Plant them now. They are smart. They will know when to start growing. And they will have a longer and more productive growing season for it.
