If planting must be delayed after purchase, place moist material, such as wood shavings or sphagnum moss, around the plant’s roots and place the plants in a plastic bag. Store the plants in the refrigerator at 32 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The strawberries can be safely stored in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks.
