Heart Leaf

Heart Leaf is a supporting Plant in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders. It is unlocked after completing the Valenbrainz Seasonal Quest, and shoots hears that lightly damage and infatuate Zombies.
Every second, Heart Leaf shoots a slow-moving heart down the lane. This heart does light damage, pierces through 3 Zombies, and Zombies hit by it will become Infatuated, taking 10% more damage for 2 seconds. This can stack up to a total of +50% damage if multiple Heart Leaves are in the lane or if Heart Leaf has multiple leaves.
Heart Leaf grows an extra leaf every 25 seconds, up to 3 leaves in total. Each extra leaf shoots an extra heart when Heart Leaf attacks, doing the same damage but adding only +5% damage via Infatuation.
Tapping Heart Leaf when it has more than one leaf will shoot it's excess leaves at the Zombies farthest to the left, hypnotizing them and infatuating other Zombies in a 3x3 area.  
==Origin:==
Heart Leaf is based on the Heartleaf Philodendron, a house plant with heart-shaped leaves and long, trailing vines. It is also based on the heart, more specifically the traditional Valentine's Day heart design, while its ability is based on love.

==Plant Food==
Heart Leaf instantly grows all 3 heads and shoots a stream of hearts down the lane, infatuating and stunning all Zombies up to 5 tiles ahead of it.
==Enchant-mint Effect==
When boosted by Enchant-mint, Heart Leaf's leaves infatuate Zombies twice as much and fully-infatuated Zombies will be healed to full and become hypnotized.
== Strategies ==
Although Heart Leaf does very low damage and can only hit a few targets, it is actually quite good as a supporting Plant. It's especially good against Gargantuars, as it can allow your attackers to deal extra damage. Try to use it with piercing or splash damage plants to allow it time to infatuate stronger Zombies, or bring knockback to keep weaker Zombies out of the way.
Its secondary ability is also a good option if the Zombies have breached your defenses, as it will remove the furthest 2 Zombies as a threat and hopefully deal some damage to other Zombies in the lane. However, it should not be relied on too heavily due to Heart Leaf's slow regrow speed and the strength of other Zombies that may overtake your hypnotized Zombie.
