I don't know how many plants there are in the game, but I think it's around 90. You can pick eight plants at a time (seven if you're freemium), so 90/8 = 11.25. And 11.25*95 = 1068.75.

Over 1070 wins to upgrade all plants and even more without the 8th seed packet? C'mon, that's three times the game's number of levels.

(I repeat: I don't know the exact number of plants in the game, but the number of times you have to beat levels will still be pretty big)

By the way, they eliminated star challenges because it was too boring and tedious but PopCap/EA ended up with a 300-level game which now includes a feature that is even more tedious than the other one. So if we take 101 plants as the number when the level system is released, we can multiply that by 95 to get 9595, divide that by 7/8, for 8 slots you have 1,200 levels won, and for 7 you have 1,371 levels won (1,199.375 for 8 and 1,370.714 for 7) If we assume each level gives you equal oppritunity to chose every plant (I know it doesn't but let's assume), and since there are 316 levels in the game (25x4+20+32x4+30+34+4), you would have to play each level approximately 5 times with 7 seed slots and approximately 4 times with 8 seed slots to level up every single plant in game. So in conclusion, one would have to beat the entirety of Plants Vs Zombies 2 It's About Time 4-5 times to achieve max level plants.
