100 starting sun and the shovel bonus are pretty helpful.
 * Snow Pea: No, just use Winter Melon.
 * Power Lily: sure.
 * Squash: eh, Primal Potato Mine.
 * Torchwood: not really due to lack of AoE. Perhaps heating with Winter Melon in Frostbite Caves?
 * Jalapeno: Cherry Bomb is better in most cases since it covers more rows.
 * Imitater: nice for some plants and situations, while other times, I need a more wide variety of plants.
 * Starfruit: no real purpose to be a premium, especially due to Rotobaga.
 * Hypno-shroom: only really good if boosted.
 * Pea-nut: no. I'll say this a lot to say that these plants have nothing really special that can't be done with other plants.
 * Chomper: eh...
 * Homing Thistle: not really.
 * Ghost Pepper: not entirely, but it is cute to use and see.
 * Sweet Potato: maybe for some strategies, but it's more of a toy than actually something useful.
 * Sap-fling: good for fire, not so much else when.
 * Hurrikale: actually, yes, since nothing can stop this guy.
 * Fire Peashooter: Frostbite Caves only.
 * Dandelion: no.
 * Lava Guava: maybe, maybe not.
 * Toadstool: not really, but it's lulzy.
 * Strawburst: fun to use, not for anything strategic.
 * Cactus: no, more for kicks and giggles.
 * Electric Blueberry: no.
 * Jack O'Lantern: Frostbite Caves mostly, otherwise it's again something to play with.
 * Grapeshot: not if you have Cherry Bomb or Primal Potato Mine.
 * Cold Snapdragon: not necessarily, but it is a great plant.
 * Shrinking Violet: for some Endless Zone strategies, but it's not imperative.
 * Blooming Heart: no.
 * Escape Root: same as Cold Snapdragon.
 * Wasabi Whip: no.
 * Explode-O-Nut: same as Grapeshot.
 * Kiwibeast: no.
 * Bombegranate: same as Grapeshot and Explode-O-Nut.
 * Apple Mortar: no.
 * The upgrades aren't much more useful, save for the Bonus Seed Slot.
