I went ahead and started a new thread as I could have posted this in several of the active threads. I bought my rhizomes from keystonehomebrew and they have a nice link to a pdf file from their supplier. It gives a very nice how to get started, a few basics and then some cultural characteritics of the various varieties, which I've pasted below. Here's the link to the whole pdf.
