Card description
Dropped out of Kale University to practice natural medicine.

With
While Power Flower has low strength compared to many other 5-sun cost plants, its health, Strikethrough trait, and ability is what makes this plant so useful. Power Flower's high health allows it to take a strong hit from a zombie, guaranteed it does not do more than 4 damage, and fight back to possibly shoot another turn.

Power Flower, along with Briar Rose, are both key plants in a flower deck. While Power Flower can heal an immense amount of health each turn, Briar Rose pressures zombies due to its ability. This plant also works well with Pepper M.D., as while Power Flower heals you, Pepper M.D. continuously gains strength and health.

However, if you are in a situation where you don't really need to heal, a cheaper alternative to this is, since it costs 2 less sun at the price of 2 less health and Power Flower's ability.

Against
Power Flower has a lot of health, and can provide some difficulty when dealing with it. Zombies with 5 strength or more should not have a problem destroying it. While in an ideal situation the zombie should survive the attack, it is worth noting that as Power Flower has Strikethrough, it will hit you either way. If Pepper M.D or Briar Rose is also on the field, consider taking them out first, as they are only going to become more powerful if left unharmed.

Power Flower is immune to Rolling Stone, Weed Spray, and Rocket Science due to it having 3 strength. However, each class can deal with Power Flower in their own ways. heroes have (Shrink Ray too in Rustbolt's case), which can lower Power Flower's strength, which will then be susceptible to Rolling Stone and Weed Spray. heroes have Rocket Science to pressure the opponent into not boosting Power Flower's strength. heroes have instant-kill tricks like B-flat and Locust Swarm, as well as Nibble to lower its strength. heroes have Deadly zombies. And finally, heroes can overwhelm it with sheer damage.
