Potted Canna Question

South Coast, RI(Zone 6b)

I kind of went Canna crazy and I think I have about 50. I put them in pots outside in mid may because I was told that they would rot if I left them in the house. So in my rush I put 2 or 3 to each lg. pot assuming I could transplant into the yard when I had time to dig the holes. They are now have 2 to 4 leaves each and look good. My problem is I popped the Sacroiliac joint in my back and now hole digging is not an option. My question is what will happen to them if I leave them as they are? Most are dwarf, some are the mid size and only 2 are the large ones. The pots that have 3 are 2.5’ high and about 24” across. The ones that have 2 are smaller. I’ve never grown Canna before so I don’t know much about them.
