Photo of 4 Sick Cannas  HELP!

I'll attach a pic of one of them. These are my red cannas that Studley sent me seed for. They were the only 4 that propagated, and like a dummy I put them outside too soon (although the ones from rhizomes are doing fine, go figure?)

They obviously did not like the chilly weather we had, after the warm warm weather we had prior to that (that made me jump the gun).

What should I do? Should I cut off the worst leaves on them? Could they survive that? I feel like the bad leaves are taking up all the nutrients, trying to survive (you know, how houseplants do, and you pull off the bad ones of those).

Any suggestions would be helpful. The next few days are supposed to be in the 70's and 80's, so I don't think moving them is a good idea at this point. Are they beyond repair?
