Jack O' Lantern

Jack O' Lantern is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 tied with the Lawn of Doom event released with the 4.1 update.

It is a tap-to-use plant that blows a flame jet three tiles in front of it for a few seconds. When not continuously pressed, it will just deliver a short burst of fire which will not continuously do damage. Nevertheless, both methods deliver area-of-effect damage. After holding on it from its full recharge form, it deals a total of exactly 90 normal damage shots (1800 damage), which is enough to kill all non-machined and non-Gargantuar zombies.
