==Strategies==
Now, as for exact strategy: Use Stink-Weed on the frontline or in emergency uses, being able to slow zombies in swarms and even including Gargantuars and flying zombies. her primary attack is useful for weakening zombies. Just be carful of Stink-Weed's stun ability. Once it's used, it she'll sleep for 10 seconds before waking up again. 
If in a dire situation. use Stink-Weed Flower's stunning ability in emergency uses only. Just don't bring Stink-Weed in any levels with "Don't lose more than (X) Plants" levels. As Stink-Weed would always be at a risk of being eaten or destroyed.
