Premium Plants

Premium plants are plants in Plants vs Zombies 2: It's About Time (GMXX Version). They're different than normal plants due to the fact that they can't be obtained from levels. The only way to obtain them is to buy them from the shop for coins. They also have a purple background on their seed packet, as opposed to the green ones of normal plant seed packets.
