==Strategies ==
Winter Splinter is more effectively used as a hard-hitting, high toughness plant than a rliable chiller plant. Due to it's slow attack speed, it can fail to put out the Prospesctor's or Explorer's/Torchlight's fire in time. It's chill can rather be used to slow down zombies that are trying to eat it, allowing it to take less bite damage. 
Aloe can be used with Winter Splinter to increase its lifespan during combat.
