Caulipower

Caulipower is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2, tied to the 2017 Luck O' the Zombie event. It hypnotizes zombies like Hypno-shroom, and targets zombies in the same manner as Electric Blueberry. It can also be planted on water tiles in Big Wave Beach without a Lily Pad, similar to Rotobaga and Ghost Pepper.

Origin
Caulipower is based on a cauliflower, an annual plant that reproduces by seed and a vegetable. Its name is based on "cauliflower" and "power."

Almanac entry
Caulipowers use their mental powers to hypnotize random zombies and turn them against their former friends.

Special: hovers above ground or water

Caulipower's eyes spin with distress. He's just thought of a really great ending for his novel, but he's afraid his cousin won't understand it.

Plant Food effect
When fed by Plant Food, Caulipower tosses 5 random zombies off the screen, in a similar manner of the Power Toss.

Strategies
Use Caulipower like you would use Electric Blueberry, but it instead hypnotizes zombies unlike Electric Blueberry's ability which instantly destroys them. Caulipower can be a really powerful plant, but it should not be your only means of defense, due to its infrequent and inconsistent attack pattern and its very slow recharge time.

Make sure you have defensive plants such as Primal Wall-nut or Chard Guard, or other attacking plants (particularly ones that are good at handling hordes of zombies, such as Snapdragon or Winter Melon) to back it up.

It is a good counter to Surfer Zombies, as they will not crush Caulipowers with their surfboards. Aside from that, Caulipower can work well in Big Wave Beach because it does not need a Lily Pad to be placed on the water.
