Sweet Pea

Sweet Pea is a VIP in Plants vs. Zombies Adventures. It is unique from other VIPs in the fact that to unlock it the player must ask five friends to help them instead of paying an amount of gems (though the player can pay 300 gems to unlock it without needing their friends' help).

Facebook Description
''“I always cry at germinations,” says Sweet Pea, an unabashed romantic--sentimental but never saccharine, and always low-calorie. But watch out: Sweet Pea is a lover AND a fighter.''

Strategy
Sweet Pea is a great plant to always use after it's unlocked. Being free to plant in Road Trip levels and the only VIP which can be grown without spending Gems, it makes a good substitute of the Peashooter early on, as well as a good emergency plant later on. However, the damage and range are not much better than the Peashooter, so it has trouble killing Conehead Zombies without help.

While the Sweet Pea cannot kill Conehead Zombies reliably, it still can kill basic zombies reliably, giving it some use after Sweaty Palms onward, and if no other VIPs are unlocked, it's always safe to use this plant in case of emergencies. Thus, it has some use even in The Sand Dooms or other levels without regular zombies. In Zombitorium Manor, it can come in handy to deal with any Imps thrown by a Gargantuar. It will take 6 seconds to kill an Imp by itself.
