    Those are seeds. You can plant them if you would like, or simply cut them off so the plant can better focus on storing energy for flowers next year.

    You can cut down the flower stem as far as you like, but make sure to leave the leaves as the plant needs these to store energy for next year's flower.

    Cannas like it warm, so I would give them a little longer just to see if perhaps the weather (or soil) is not warm enough yet. If, however, they do not begin sprouting within the next couple weeks, it is probably safe to say that they are goners, likely to rodents.

    No, you don't have to deadhead these plants but it will not hurt them to do so.

    You could try to plant yet this year. Depending on the variety and the temperatures they could sprout in a week or it couple be a few weeks.
    They most likely would have time to flower this year.

    Here are a couple of links for you.
