I have lupine seedlings and daylilly seedlings. Both they say won’t flower the first season which they didn’t. Am I better off to plant them in the ground now or keep in pots in an unheated greenhouse or bring them into my grow room in my basement for the winter?

I find that young plants often need a year of extra-care. I wouldn't take them indoors if they are hardy perennials but keeping them in a pot or even a cold frame (unheated greenhouse sounds good) might be good for the first year (or two). I have lost many a plant by taking a new nursery plant and putting them in the ground. I learned from my mistakes to treat very young plants like young children - pamper them for a while longer before they become rebellious teenagers.
