Plants (PvZ2)

*For other uses, see plants.*
**Plants** are living organisms that belong to the *Plantae* kingdom. They obtain most of their energy from sunlight in a process called photosynthesis. However, not all plants absorb energy via photosynthesis. They are the protagonists of *Plants vs. Zombies 2* and the player's main defense against the undead assailants.

There are a grand total of 142 plants, 45 of which are premium plants and among the premium plants, 31 of them cost real money, 14 of them cost gems, and 12 are available for a limited time. Out of the remaining plants, 11 can be unlocked with seed packets, 13 can be unlocked with mints, and one of them is only available via Zen Garden.

## Trivia

* Compared to the prequel:
	+ All Plants (excluding invincible and defensive plants) can takes different amount of bites based on plant level instead of usual six bites. Despite this, zombies eat plants based on time.
	+ Twin Sunflower, Winter Melon, and Spikerock are no longer upgrade plants. Instead, they can be planted directly like normal plants.
		- They are the only upgrade plants from the first game to return and, along with Imitater, are the only returning plants that previously have to be bought in Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies.
	+ Mushrooms no longer sleep in the day.
	+ Blover is the only plant from Far Future to return from the first game.
	+ Sun Bean is the only new Dark Ages plant to be added into the second game.
	+ Garlic is the only plant from Neon Mixtape Tour to return from the first game.
	+ As of the 2.9 update, all Day and Pool plants in *Plants vs. Zombies* have returned to the second game.
	+ All catapult and sun-producing plants have returned to the second game.
* In Piñata Parties, "Try Before You Buy" quests, Arena featurings, Penny's Pursuit and certain levels starting in Wild West, Frostbite Caves and Dark Ages, the player can use premium plants for free.
* Starting with the 2.9 update, plants can be in the store for a limited amount of time.
* Tile Turnip can become the most expensive plant in the game, exceeding the sun limit if planted several (seven in the level 1 case) times.

A full Pea Pod at between levels 1-6 on the other hand costs 125 × 5 = 625 sun.
