List of unused plants

This is a list of plants that have been planned, but never included in the games of the Plants vs. Zombies series. Some of these plants were later added as other plants with different names and abilities, while some have never left the concept stage.

Plants vs. Zombies
Not a lot is known about the scrapped plants from the original Plants vs. Zombies. Judging by images of beta content, some of the scrapped plants are known, but their function is not.

According to the sketch image on the right, some of the plants that haven't left the concept stage are: a carrot plant, a small cherry (similar to Cherry Bomb), what seems to be a dandelion, a Venus flytrap plant (that seems similar to multiple Chompers, an unkown plant with a gun and an unkown plant with tentacles (possibly a predecessor to Gloom-shroom).

Unlike the previous plants, the beehive plant on the left side had a finished sprite, which may mean that it was in the game at one point.

Plants that returned
What is interesting about these plants is that, while they weren't included in the original game, all of them appear in the Chinese game Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars. Not even their designs are much different that the original concepts. From left to right, top to bottom, translated from All Stars, their names are: Trumpet Vine, Pineapple, Blueberries, Ball Cactus, Apple and Pomegranate.

The only plant which doesn't reappear is the bamboo plant.
