Maximaize

__NOTOC__
Maximaize is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. He is a seasonal plant, tied to Maximaize's Enormous Season in . Maximaize is an instant-use plant that, when planted on top of another plant, turns that plant into an enormous giant. Giant plants might be extra big and extra powerful, but they take up a 2x2 area. This makes them difficult to plan around in some situations. When transformed into a giant, plants will gain 4x their usual damage and Toughness, making them worth the increased housing space. Plants will stay in their gigantic form for 50 seconds.
Giant plants will also gain area damage and become more effective in their damage and other abilities as well. Attacking plants will attack down two lanes instead of just the one, reflecting their increased scale. They will also deal splash damage in a 2x1 area equal to 20% of their regular damage, accounting for the bolstered stats giant plants have. Defensive plants will heal for 5% of their maximum health every second, even if they're actively being eaten, which makes them VERY good at defending. Sun-producing plants will produce twice as much sun, and then other plants have their special effects doubled.
==Origins==
	Maximaize's name is a portmanteau of the words "maximize," referring to the fact that it 'maximizes' the sizes of plants with its ability, and "maize", which is a tall stout grass that produces cereal grain. Maximaize takes after one of those cereal grains personally, but he's not really good at popping with butter.
