==About==
Buckwheat is available for purchase from Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies after Level 3-4 has been beat. Buckwheat is a plant who's function is comparable to that of the Cob Cannon. She takes exactly 20 seconds to reload buckwheat seeds. When the seeds are reloaded, the player can click on the Buckwheat for her to fire them. It fires 10 seeds at once, each seed dealing 200 damage per shot for a total of 2000 damage if all seeds hit. The seeds spread out as they fly, being able to spread out and cover a 4x5 area before automatically being destroyed if they don't hit anything. If a zombie is hit by five or more seeds, they will be stunned for 3 seconds, while if they are hit by 4 or less seeds, they will be stunned for 2 seconds.
==Origins==
 
Buckwheat is based on the buckwheat, a plant cultivated for its grain-like seeds in the genus Fagopyrum. However, Buckwheat's sppearance is more based on the wheat plant itself, rather than the buckwheat. 
It's ability and gun-like weapons it has on it's arms are a reference to the weapon called the shotgun, a weapon that fires multiple bullets at once. The reason for this is due to how buckwheat sounds similar to the term buckshot..

==Strategies==
Buckwheat is a very strong plant for it's cost and recharge, great for close-ranged attacks. A single attack up close from Buckwheat can be near fatal, so try to make sure that you use her when very close to a zombie. She can be tapped on when zombies are not as close to her/in other lanes if you want a bit more coverage, just keep in mind that the zombies will not take as much damage. A single buckwheat seed can kill a Basic Zombie in one hit, so if thee is a hoard of them, you could try planting Buckwheat in the middle lane and tapping her when they get close enough. Buckwheat's stun can also be very helpful if you need to stall a powerful zombie you can't quite beat with one attack. This could work for Gargantuars, dealing messive damage and stopping them from throwing an imp briefly, but Buckwheat is also not the best for dealing with Gargantuars as they can smash her at close range-where Buckwheat is most effective. She is not recommended against Giga Gargantuars either.
All in all, the best way to use Buckwheat is to manage her well. You should try to wait until zombies get close to her if you want the most damage, or let them stay a bit far away for some area coverage. use the stun to your advantage, and make sure that you are wary of her cooldown so you aren't heavily reliant on her. 
The "Bullseye?" achievement is quite difficult to obtain if you don't have a plan. You can try to keep a tough zombie, like a Gargantuar, in one lane, while stalling zombies in other lanes until they get just weak enough to be defeated. Keep in mind you have to place Buckwheat in the middle lane for the achievement to even be possible to obtain.
