Can Physalis be propagated in any way other than seed?

Question

How can Physalis, or Cape Gooseberry, be propagated using a method other than seed propagation?

Answer 1

There is another way - they're perennial, and can be divided during the dormant season, which is, in the UK, winter and early spring, so about now would be good. Always assuming you're not under 6 feet of water, that is, given the weather we've had this year...

Answer 2

You can also apparently grow them from stem cuttings. The link below from the rare fruit society says to use semi-mature material from the middle of the one year old shoot, and to dust it with rooting hormone.
