It´s spikes do 2 NDS and fires at the rate of a peashooter. Cattail´s soikes dealt one damage at twice the speed of the fire rate of peashooter. HT costs the same as cattail, 225+25. It can also be planted in ground unlike cattail, making it beter than cattail. Also, you do not have to purchase an upgrade, and its going to be gem prem. It´s beter than cattail, do the math.

Edit: It´s not a word only plant, has a fast recharge unlike cattail and does not fire additional spikes after the zombie died. All this for the same cost of cattail and no need to bring a lily pad. I've seen it, it shoots as fast as a Cabbage-pult. Hence, 2 damage per 2 seconds means it's the damage of a Peashooter, while a Cattail did the damage of a Repeater.

Add to that the fact that in PvZ2, almost all non-AoE plants are USELESS because of the massive crowds of zombies, and Homing Thistle is not worth a single gem unless it gets massively buffed. or maybe the cat tail was over powered...and that happened.
