Cape Gooseberry / Physalis peruviana: lifespan

[Seagull]

I just recently discovered cape gooseberries / Physalis peruviana and can't get enough of them! I was dissappointed though, that they have to be shipped all the way from South America, so I decided to grow them myself in pots on my balcony here in Freiburg. I've read a lot about them and everywhere says they are perennial if not in freezing conditions. I plan to bring them into a sunny spot in my apartment during the winter.

I was wondering though, exactly how long do they live? Two year, three years, four years...? Anyone out there with experience growing these know?

G'Day Seagull!

sorry, mate. No idea. Tried growing them years ago but they died in the Aussie hot dry summer!

Hi Seagull, I have posted a reply under Herbs ad Vegetables. Have you doubled up?

It was an accident! I didn't realize that it posted it into the forum that you were just in. So then I put it in the fruit forum and wanted to delete it out of the vegetable forum, but couldn't sorry! I won't do it again
