You should only need 1 rhizome. If it gets the water it needs to grow properly you should have a good stand in 3 years. The key word to look for in the plant description is vigorous, this means it will grow and spread quickly if it has/gets enough water. You should plant it in the early spring so it will have the whole summer to develope.
