The biggest in my garden are 5-6 inches long.  Some varieties consistently 
grow bigger and longer rhizomes than others, but good dirt and fertilizer 
play an essential role, as well.  In the attached photo, the rhizome on the 
left is 4 1/2 inches long, the one on the right 5 inches, measured along the 
top of the rhizome from the white edge of the fan to the end.  --  Griff
