Deserted Canyon

The deserted , , , and zombies may appear with a ziplining hook attached, in which case they will hook onto whatever zipline they walk into.

*Level 11-6 and Level 11-13: Locked and Loaded - Survive the level with plants picked for you.
=== Tranquilizing ===
This world's exclusive minigame is called Tranquilizing. In this minigame, the zombies enter the lawn at 3x speed. The player can calm them down with the use of a water gun, which reverts them back to normal speed for 10 seconds. The water gun can be used through right-clicking the mouse, or by selecting its icon on mobile devices. The water gun may run out of water, in that case the player must fill it up by clicking or tapping an empty tile of water, twice, with the water gun. The water gun's water meter shows the player how much water is remaining, in four segments. Each segment takes three seconds to completely fill up. If the water gun completely runs out of water, then it will take five seconds to fill up the first segment of water.

== Trivia ==
*At 4 years, 6 months and 6 days, Deserted Canyon has the longest gap between its previous world in Plants vs. Zombies: The Wacky House. If one were to discount parallel worlds, the gap would be 5 years, 9 months and 10 days.
*Monstrous Museum was the original 11th world before Deserted Canyon. However, it was scrapped as felt that it was too derivative of , its visuals were bland, and was overall too underwhelming. 
**Bones are scattered throughout the canyon in Deserted Canyon, a subtle nod to Monstrous Museum
**Soaptree was made partially in tribute to the fallen Lathernder, a plant which was unlocked in Monstrous Museum, as they both revolve around soap.
*This was the last natural world to be developed at least partially by .
*Zipline lanes can be made either transparent or fully visible through a newly-added button on the UI which only appears in this world.
**This is because zipline lanes may obstruct the gameplay on the lawn.
=== Concepts ===
*Originally, the world was to be named "Cactus Canyon." This was changed as the creator disliked the alliteration, and it felt like too specific of a name.
*The earliest drafts of Deserted Canyon included a massive gap in the middle of the lawn. Using Grass would have been the only way to plant on these empty tiles, which is why its description used to be "Grasses allow you to plant on irregular terrain and can also cross huge gaps.
**This idea was scrapped as it felt too restricting and annoying. It also would have made it more difficult to design zombies, as they all would have had to been able to cross the massive gap in some way.
*, , and were originally going to be found in this world.
**Clove Club and were going to be brought back from Monstrous Museum, but were scrapped.
**A Barrel Cactus plant was an early concept, but no ability was made for it, and it was eventually scrapped.
**A scrapped plant named "Stacked Saguaro" was going to be found here. It would have functioned as a defensive-offensive plant which could be stacked for more defense and offense, similarly to .
* was originally going to return, and the Canyonhead Zombie was originally going to be the Amberhead Zombie Plants vs. Zombies 2's Jurassic Marsh.
