Burning Bush

Burning Bush is a powerful plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 that explodes when planted, burning a 3x3 area and dealing damage to all zombies in the area over 100 seconds. The initial blast is pretty powerful, capable of wiping out most zombies instantly, but the lingering damage over time flames add more value since they'll keep other zombies passing through at bay and allow Burning Bush to take out Gargantuars - can your Jalapeno or Grapeshot do that? I didn't think so.
Burning Bush has an added perk where it deals double damage to robots like Mecha-Football Zombie because the metal melts, the wires are damaged, and generally it is not a good time for those opponents. This makes Burning Bush a powerful brawler against those threats! In addition, as if the previous couple of uses just weren't enough for you, Burning Bush unleashes a large heat wave that fully thaws plants in a 3x3 area when planted, then continues to melt a layer of ice off anything in The Flames every 10 seconds while that's active.
== Origins ==
It all began when the Briar Nation attacked back in 1975... just kidding! Burning Bush is based off a bush and the concept of being on fire - along with a columnal hodgepodge of other references such as the burning bush from the bible and wildfires in general. Since you've all been good girls and boys today, I'll treat you to a low resolution image of what I am talking about. On the house!

When boosted by Pepper-mint, Burning Bush's explosion damage is raised graciously from a measly 10 to a measly 13, and her total fire damage is raised from 10190 to 20380. Wow!

Burning Bush is great against weaker swarmy zombies such as Imp Mermaid Zombie and Imp Monk, nut. Also, he's GREAT against Chickens, Weasels, and all of the other swarms that have basically no health at all, since he shuts them down for almost two whole minutes. He has a very short time before exploding where he can be eaten, so while he does do a MASSIVE amount of damage it's not just something you can drop whenever you please. You need to think about it at least a little bit. Burning Bush isn't as great against Bucketheads or other tougher guys because the initial damage is very minimal and The Flames take a while to work out.
While poor against most armored threats, he excels against the threatening Bug Bot Imp! Thank goodness! In all seriousness, the doubled damage to machines helps him out in Far Future when he's going up against groups of robots. Since most machines don't have more than ten thousand health, it effectively just means they're taken out twice as quickly - since they're slow already, it's a recipe for a miracle!
