Leslie, the Siberians prefer not to dry out, so those should definitely be planted soon, and should be kept moist till you can plant them.

Not so much hurry on the bearded ones, but I don't think storing them inside is a good idea. It seems most regions where TBs grow receive moisture during winter, although many of those areas have dry summers. Being as summer is when they are divided and sold, I believe they tolerate dry summers better than dry storage in winter. Perhaps you could pot them as John mentioned above, and store the pots outside in a protected area (next to the house, covered in straw or leaves).
