Fire Currant

Fire Currant is a gemium plant that was introduced in the new v8.6.2 update in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is available in the store for 100 gems and is currently 
available. Like other fire plants, Fire Currant can thaw nearby frozen plants in a 3x3 area around him in Frosbite Caves. 
Fire Currants are supposed to be eaten to do their attack, similarly to Electrici-tea. When eaten, he deals 1800 damage to whoever that ate him. A fire tile will also spawn when he is eaten, and it can do 50 damage to zombies and lasts for 15 seconds.
== Origins ==
Fire Currant is based on ribes rubrum, better known as Redcurrant.
.
== Strategies ==
Fire Currant is amazing to use on the early game since he costs no sun at all and he can be used right away at the beginning of the level, since he is automatically recharged. He can also be paired with other insta-kill plants so you can spend time planting more sun-producing plants. 
Fire Currant SHOULD NOT be used against zombies that do not eat plants like Gargantuars and Explorer Zombies, since his main use is to be eaten. Use other insta-kill plants like Cherry Bomb and Potato Mine to deal with them.
Fire Currant is a super overpowered plant. He is much cheaper and powerful than Electrici-tea. The only main problem with him is his long recharge, but with his damage and special fire tile ability, he is worth it.
== Upgrades ==
=== Plant Food effect ===
When given plant food, he sets the lane he's in on fire, killing weak zombies and dealing 3000 damage to zombies that cannot be killed.
=== Pepper-mint's effect ===
When Pepper-mint is on the lawn, he deals 600 more damage and the fire tile he summons deals 150 more damage and lasts for 15 seconds more. His recharge also gets cut down to 45 seconds.

== Trivia ==
* There were supposed to be 4 currants (electric, freeze and poisonous), but:
** Some of them had names that were too similar to official plants
** There would be too much currants in the game, counting Icy Currant. (I can change their origin though)
** They were too OP
* Fire Currant doesn't have the ability to create fire fences despite being a currant, unlike its electric and ice counterparts.
** But, he can make fire tiles when fully eaten, similarly to his said counterparts.
*** It is also said that him, Electric Currant, and Icy Currant are related.
* Fire Currant can be used as a reusable substitute to Hot Date, since his plant food effect is very similar to Hot Date's attack.
