Following up to Martin Magnusson :

I grew wild strawberries (the small kind) on my balcony last summer. The
plants are supposed to be perennial, so I simply took the box inside and
let the plants and soil stand in the basement over the winter (without
any water or light). What are the chances that they will start growing
again if I just take them out again in the spring?

(Austria) We had some in the garden all winter (4 months complete snow
cover, -19C at night for 4 weeks) and they're looking a bit squashed but
like they'll survive. They grow quite high up mountains here - in woodland
so I expect they'll live.
