It should help that that are on the south side of the house near the foundation.

Welcome to the site, Jorge! Basjoos are very cold-hardy, even in Oregon & Connecticut, so they should do great! For Georgia, 8 inch mulch should be about right. The main thing is not to let the corm get wet when it's cold. By the end of next summer, they could easilly get 10-14 feet tall.
