Slow-cone

Slow-Cone is the first plant obtained in TBA in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Slow-Cone slows down the zombie that destroyed it permanently (regardless of method used to destroy it, and distance away from Slow-Cone); Slow-Cone cannot stack with other slowing effects. Slow-Cone also cannot be transformed or disabled, except by Boombox Zombie.
== Origins ==
Slow-Cone is based on the reproductive structures (cones) of the Giant Sequoia. Its name is a portmanteau of "slow", which reflects Slow-Cone's slowing ability, and the aforementioned pine cones of the Giant Sequoia.

== Plant Food effect ==
When fed with Plant Food, Slow-Cone will slow down up to 6 of the fastest zombies on screen, and if they are all the same speed, will slow down the 6 zombies nearest to the house.
== Contain-mint effect ==
When boosted by Contain-mint, Slow-Cone will slow down all zombies in a 1x3 area around the zombie that destroys it, and its Plant Food effect will slow down another three zombies.
== Strategies ==
Slow-Cone is a plant that can be quite beneficial at the start of the level, and falls in between other slowing and instant-use plants. It is advantageous in the fact that it costs 0 sun to plant, which can help when sun production is just starting, and the slowing effect is permanent. However, Slow-Cone's long recharge, along with the slowing effect confined to a single target, means that it fails to control zombies later on in the level, although Imitater can remedy the recharge problem.
The main highlight of this plant is the permanent slowing effect that cannot be removed by any plants or zombies, regardless of abilities. This allows it to be used in synergy with fire plants, such as Snapdragon, Torchwood, and Fire Peashooter. The second is the ability to slow down any zombie that destroys it no matter how much distance is between them. This can either be a advantage or disadvantage, depending on what zombie can destroy it first. Its main weakness however, is the single target confinement of its range, and is why it should be used sparingly for stronger, faster threats, rather than slower enemies.

== Trivia==
* When it slows down zombies, it sinks into the ground, appears above the zombie that destroyed it, and explodes with a shower of sap.
* The explosion of this plant's animation cannot damage zombies.
* It resembles Sap-fling, as both plants can slow down zombies with sap, and are whole or parts of conifer trees.
* When slowed, zombies have bubbles similar to hypnotized zombies floating off of them. It is purely visual and does not affect gameplay, however.
