Crystalthemum

Crystalthemum was a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. She was unlocked after completing Moist Caves - Night 1. She threw crystals onto 5-20 empty tiles on the lawn, which acted as obstacles for straight-shooting plants. However, when they were broken they would release 150 sun. The crystals withstood 700 damage. If a crystal landed on a zombie while falling, the zombie would lose a lot of health. Zombies within a 3x3 area of it would be knocked back by half a tile. After running out of crystals, she recharged for 15 seconds.
== Origins ==
Her name is a portmanteau on chrysanthemum and crystal, referencing her abilities to launch crystals.

== Strategies ==
Crystalthemum can be a good plant to choose for extra sun production, however her high cost can be very restricting. Her crystals aren't that strong, especially if the player uses instant-kills. There are many decent lobbed plants to choose from to avoid these crystals, however choosing only lobbed-shots is a bad decision as the crystals will hardly ever get damaged.
Her Plant Food ability is very complicated to handle, as it can produce a lot of sun and destroy a zombie if the player is lucky, but also has a high amount of health to destroy.
