Default Chinese Lanterns

Talking to an elderly chap today and he said he has tried numerous times to
grow Physalis and they never last more than two summers. For him it's a
remembrance plant. I'm sure some on here grow these so which is the best to
grow that is truly perennial.
Soil is Thames silt/clay over gravel with pH 7 or thereabouts.
