If you do go for gem premiums, here is my personal reccomendation.

Get Hurrikale first. In my opinion, Hurrikale is the best gem premium plant. You could argue Ghost Pepper and Lava Guava are better, but I find the most use in Hurrikale.

Get Lava Guava next, and get Ghost Pepper once she becomes available. Both of these plants are good, but I don't find them to spectcaularly amazing, like Hurrikale. If Ghost Pepper goes on sale while you don't have Hurrikale though, I suggest you get her first because of the limited availability.

Next, I'd say go for Fire Peashooter, Sweet Potato or Homing Thistle. While Fire Peashooter isn't the best, it certinaly helps in Frostbite Caves and is a decent starting plant in other worlds. Sweet Potato is actually pretty decent, it just has way to high of a sun cost. I think she makes strategies very fn and interesting, so I suggest you pick her up when you can. Homing Thistle is also a decent set up plant, but works poorly vs hordes.

I'd reccomend against getting Dandelion, unless you are a plant collector. It's one of the worst plants in the game in my opinion.
