Daylily Kite

Daylily Kite is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, that was first introduced in the 10.7.2 update as part of the "Daylily Kite's Flying Season!" Arena season and can be unlocked with 250 seed packets. It is a straight-shooting plant that shoots petals that deal 20 dps.
When an electric plant is played within a 3x3 radius around Daylily Kite, It will become struck by lighting and we appearing flaming. Its petals now deal 30 dps and burn zombies.
Burned zombies will take low damage over time and will take more damage from fire plants. If a burned zombie is chilled or frozen, it will undo the burn effect.
Daylily Kite will fly around the lawn dealing damage for a samall duration of time if either Blover or Hurrikale was planted.
In the Chinese version Plants vs. Zombies 2, Daylily Kite is unlocked in Sky City Day 1. It loses all it's abilities from the international version but can now let non-flying plants be planted in the air.

==Strategies==
Daylily Kite works well with electric plants because it activates it's main ability, to shoot burning petals. It also works well with other fire plants because its burning effect makes zombies take more damage from fire attacks. If you want to use Daylily Kite as your main attack plant, cheap electric plants such as Magnifying Grass, Bzzz Button, or E.M.Peach are reccomended for getting struck Daylily Kite's at a minimal sun cost. 
Daylily Kite also works well with Blover and Hurrikale since they give it a small boost where it will fly around the lawn deal damage to all zombies it hits. This also happens when the chilling winds from Frostbite Caves blow, so make sure to bring Daylily kite to Frostbite caves since it also warms plants in a 3x3 area. 
In the Chinese version, Daylily Kite is critical, as it helps non-flying plants fly. 
== Balance Changes ==
