Snowy Cotton

Snow Cotton (棉小雪; pinyin: mián xiǎoxuě) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. When a zombie is approaching, it summons snowmen one tile ahead of it that hop forward on zombies. When a snowman hops onto a zombie, it deals 2.5 normal damage shots to the zombie, but snowmen must direct hop on zombies to deal damage. When upgraded, the snowmen can also slow zombies. Puzzle Pieces for this plant could have been collected through daily sign-in reward for Android users in December.

Origins
Snow Cotton is based on Gossypium hirsutum, also known as upland cotton. Its snowy appearance is based off its natural color of cotton, which is snow white.

棉小雪可以踩踏攻击前方僵尸.

作为植物跳远大赛冠军的有力竞争者，棉小雪一直在坚持锻炼，跳着前进成为了她的一个生活习惯，只是，有时候跳得太远也不一定是件好事情……

In English:

Snow Cotton treads on the attacking zombies ahead.

As a strong competitor of the plant long-jump competition, Snow Cotton is always practicing. Jumping forward has been one of her habits in daily life. However, jumping too far is not always a good thing...

Plant Food effect
When fed with Plant Food, Snow Cotton throws its carrot. When the carrot hits the ground it will summon a giant snowman that lands on random zombies doing heavy damage and freezing all of them in a 3x3 area.

Costumed
The giant snowman summoned by its Plant Food ability can now land on zombies twice.

Strategies
Snow Cotton can be both a solid early game defense, as well as an amazing late game attacker. However, it should be paired with other supporting plants. In this case, slowing plants such as Snow Pea or Winter Melon are recommended. It may be able to go solo, but only on higher levels as it gets less dependant of help after that.
