Aglave

Aglave is an area-of-effect plant available in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a ground plant that slows down zombies passing through it and blocks straight projectiles shot in its lane.
Aglave will occupy a single tile and slow down any zombie that passes through it while dealing relatively low damage to it. Most zombies will ignore it, however it can be destroyed by Barrel Roller Zombie's barrel or smashed by a Gargantuar. In most cases, it acts similar to a Spikeweed. 
Aglave's slowing effect lasts about 5 seconds at Level 1 and increases each level. The slowing effect will continue indefinitely while the zombie is in its tile. It deals 5 damage per shot at Level 1. 
Aglave blocks any straight shot projectiles in its lane, which can come from either a plant or zombie. For example, if there is a Peashooter behind Aglave and is shooting, the pea will get absorbed by it. It can also absorb projectiles bounced back by Jester Zombie. 
While it won't take damage from any projectiles, it will instead release a short-lasting area of effect that slows down any zombies in a 1x3 tile radius in front or behind it (depending on where the projectile was coming from). The slowing effect is the same as in its tile, but will disappear after a few seconds. This will also happen if Aglave is destroyed either by a Gargantuar smash or other means. 
==Origins==
Aglave is a portmanteau between 'agave' and 'glacier'.
Aglave is based on the Agave, specifically the Blue Agave (Agave americana). It is a species of flowering plant that is native to Mexico and the US in Texas, cultivated worldwide as an ornamental plant.

===Plant Food effect===
When given Plant Food, Aglave will grow a tall ice crystal that explodes and freezes all zombies on board for 5 seconds, then slowing them for 15 seconds.
Airborne zombies are instead slowed down for 20 seconds, and the same goes for zombies in Frostbite Caves. The effect will be completely removed by fire based plants, even if the zombie is frozen.
===Winter-mint effect===
When boosted by Winter-mint, Aglave's area of effect will extend to 1x3 tiles and zombies currently in its tile will be frozen. Its damage is also slightly boosted.

==Strategies ==
Aglave is extremely useful to slow down large hordes of zombies while slowly damaging them. While she does half as much damage as Spikeweed, her slowing effect effectively makes the damage output same due to zombies occupying its tile for a longer period of time, albeit slower.
Aglave's blocking mechanic can be useful to counter Jester Zombie if you are using plants that shoot projectiles to attack. She synergizes with lobbing plants due to attacking over her and also Laser Bean because its attack do not count as projectiles and pass through her. 
You can utilize her blocking mechanic by putting her in the right sides of the lawn, and using straight shooters to spew out chilling effects and then when they're worn down after passing through will take damage from your main attackers. She is also good to stall out early waves of zombies.
