Heliumthus

<tabber>
Common=
Heliumthus is the first plant obtained in The Deep Sea in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. He allows your plants to survive in areas where plants can suffocate, either by being submerged in water in The Deep Sea or by the lack of air in Cosmic Crash.
== Origins ==
Heliumthus, like all Sunflowers, is based on the helianthus annuus, or the sunflower. His name is a portmanteau of the first part of the sunflower's scientific name, helianthus, and helium, an element known to be lighter than air.
Its almanac entry explains the usage of the word "helium" in its name, as plants do not use helium to breathe, but rather oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Rare Heliumthus has the added ability to keep your plants safe from suffocation for ten extra seconds upon defeat. To compensate, it has a much higher sun cost and a slightly slower recharge.
Rare Heliumthus looks like a television, with one bent antennae. Its petals are purple instead of yellow, and they taper in size in a way that resembles wings.
== Strategies ==
Heliumthus is vital to surviving in The Deep Sea and Cosmic Crash. Without Heliumthus, most of your defense is rendered useless and you are left with very little options. Always bring a Heliumthus in The Deep Sea and Cosmic Crash, unless you know what you're doing, or if you plan on using Weather Vine.
Outside of areas where Heluimthus is necessary, Heliumthus can be used as a method of stalling. Since it can be planted on top of your plants, it would be able to provide very cheap, low-health walls without having to sacrifice space on your lawn. You could take this a step further and pair Heliumthuses with s to make the most out of your cheap, low-health walls.

*Heliumthus originally produced 10 suns at a time, however this was deemed too overpowered and unnecessary.
*Unlike and , Heliumthus does not affect an area of tiles. Instead, Heliumthus must be planted on a plant, similar to and the vine plants from .
