You have to live where the ground freezes solid in the winter
for rhubarb to grow well.
Not true.
Oh, good! I keep hearing stories of folks down south having trouble
growing it.

I believe rhubarb just needs enough constantly cold weather to make it
go dormant in the winter. That's a long way from the ground "freezing
solid." In a mild winter the ground may never freeze solid even though
the temps. are down around 20 F.
