I think a dark plant is more likely a plant obtained in a night stage (I think plants from night stages from PvZ1 will be considered dark plants as well, like cactus). The plants which are Dark Plant will have their seed packets glowing in the seed chooser, while the others will be a little darkened, but still selectable. Then, the dark plants should be Grave Buster (not useful, maybe they will finally add an "cannot be used in this level" to all worlds that don't contain graves), Split Pea (doubt it will be necesarry, but still it is a dark peshooter only 25 sun more expensive), Blover (special flying zombie? fog?), all Dark Ages plants (both shrooms - Sun,Puff,Fume,Magnet,Hypno, as well as normal plants - Sun Bean and Pea-nut), Starfruit as well, and I think they should let Ghost Pepper be a Dark Plant, because it is actually the darkest. Toadstool should be a dark plant as well, because it's a mushroom. An Cactus is a dark plant as well, so it fits to be the NMT prem. Maybe Spikerock should be a dark plant as well...and of course all the NMT plants, either shrooms or normal plants.

So we have 8-9 normals and 6 prems (one is gemium) to be Dark Plants, plus the NMT obtainable plants and the part 2 prem (I am really curious if it will be either a returning fanfav - pumpkin or gloomy, or a new plants). The selection is still small, but it better than only mushrooms (what, 6 plants?), and I think the other plants will have only a double recharge time - to hard to use only nondark plants, but good enough to choose a couple per level, coco cannon, banananananana launcher, anyway high cost plants. Also, bye power lily and cherry bomb, I doubt they could groove useful here.

And maybe, just maybe, this "gimmick" will have something useful for the plants as well (like the latest worlds had), maybe nondark plants will cost less sun, or dark plants will have another special abilitty here?
