Marigold is technically in the game, but only in the Zen Garden. Aside from garlic, you're probably right. But that may not be the case as those new plants are SIMILAR, but not the same as old ones. Popcap may still give them back with some renewed aspects and even it can add them without changing, presenting them as similar plants with different functions:

Ice-shroom: Freezez AND slows down, gives 1 damage, slow recharge, costs some sun

Cob Cannon: More expensive, 1/3 slower bomb refill, Medium explotion radius [banana launcher-cobcannnon relationship may just be like winter melon - melon pult relationship]

Cattail: Cheaper but can only be planted on water, has a different fire rate and damage status OR....

Garlic:Repells zombies in front and behind him with his smell, can divert gargs and zombies sweet potato can't attract, his cost is 275 suns since he's practically invincible

Ice-shroom: Freezes all zombies onscreen when touched, works like iceberg lettuce, but affects all zombies, his sun cost is 100 suns for certain reasons

Cob cannon: Same as PvZ1, just a 30 sec recharge and 750 sun cost

Cattail: semi-aquatic, same as PvZ1, just a sluggish recharge and 425 sun cost
