Trivia

 * Twin Sunflower, Winter Melon, and Spikerock are no longer upgrade plants. Instead, they can now be planted like normal plants.
 * They are the only upgrade plants from the first game to return.
 * They, along with Imitater, are the only plants who have returned that have to be bought in Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies in the first game.
 * The player can only use premium plants for free in Piñata Parties, "Try Before You Buy" quests, in certain levels starting in Wild West, Frostbite Caves and Dark Ages, and Battlez.

 * Starting with the 2.9 update, plants can be in the store for a limited amount of time.
 * Tile Turnip (level 1) can become the most expensive plant in the game, exceeding the sun limit if planted seven times. If it is not counted, Banana Launcher, Winter Melon, and Missile Toe are the most expensive plants in the game, being tied for 500 sun. This also does not count a fully planted Pea Pod, which costs 125 × 5 = 625 sun.
