Primal Rafflesia


 * For the Frostbite Caves variant, see Rafflesia.

Primal Rafflesia (原始大王花; pinyin: yuánshǐ dàwáng huā) is a plant from the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It was added in the 2.0 update.

Primal Rafflesia lobs venom balls at the zombies then create a puddle that slow down zombies (similar to Sap-fling). Ten of Primal Rafflesia's Puzzle Pieces can be obtained by purchasing ¥168 worth of in-game items. 30 of Primal Rafflesia's Puzzle Pieces can be obtained if ¥298 is spent, and 60 Puzzle Pieces if ¥398 is spent.

Plant Food effect
When fed Plant Food, Primal Rafflesia lobs 5 venom balls at the random zombies.

Costumed
Primal Rafflesia will now lobs purple venom balls, which does more damages.

Strategies
Use Primal Rafflesia at the back lines for maximum advantage as it can provide slowing zones and decent damage at a reasonable firerate. Couple this with some melee plants (E.g. Agave, Rose Swordsman) and you will have a rather decent combo.
