Exactly.
Tomatillos are fast growing and often spindly. If you are using 1-foot square tomato cages, plant two per cage.
Peruvian groundcherry definitely trails. I grow them in 14" pots and let them trail over the side.
Avoid fertilizers with proportionally high nitrogen. For example, I wouldn't use fish emulsion.
