Edelweiss

Edelweiss is the first plant obtained in Viennese Classics in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It freezes a zombie into an ice block, similar to the ones from Frostbite Caves. Despite this Hot Potato will remain disabled, even after choosing it, and warming plants can't warm it on other worlds.
==Origins==
Edelweiss is based on the plant Leontopodium alpinum, also known as edelweiss in English.

Edelweisses freeze zombies into an ice block.
Usage: single use, on contactSpecial: Uses petals to freeze a zombie into a block.
Edelweiss is a shy guy with bad puns. How bad are they, you ask? Well, they are REALLY bad. When he does his bad puns, he likes it, but hates it when others do. Well, "edel"-do...
==Plant Food upgrade==
When fed, Edelweiss will freeze zombies six tiles infront of it and release freezing winds that will slow zombies in it's 5x3 range. Zombies that are on the same tile will be on the same ice block.
==Strategies==
Although at a higher cost, Edelweiss serves as a direct upgrade and superior to Iceberg Lettuce, as compared to it's temporary freezing, Edelweiss' freezing will last until the ice block is broken or melted. Players will need to be careful whenever they use Edelweiss, since freezing zombies will render the tile it is on unable to be planted on until it is broken or melted by Hot Potato or other warming plants. It will also not freeze a zombie if the zombie in question is standing on a tile with another ice block unless fed with Plant Food.
The fact that zombies will be stacked in it's Plant Food ability will also make it useful in Endless Zones.

*It uses sounds from Iceberg Lettuce and Frostbite Caves' freezing winds.
