That's also why only some of the fire plants are immune to freezing, snapdragon can get frozen because it's not made of fire, it just shoots fire, while Torchwood, Pepper-pult and Fire Peashooter all have visible flames at all times. Your logic is wrong. Since this is a game, plants based on elements have to be represented by something and since there are fire based plants, it's normal (in any game) to give them visible flames so as to indicate that they are fire based. On the other hand, similarly, Ice based plants get that blue tint as indication that their element is Ice (Snow Pea even has Ice shards and breathes cold air while shooting) so for Snow Pea, Iceberg Lettuce (He is literally made out of thin ice!) and Winter Melon, they are made of Ice. As I said earlier, Ice based stuff cannot be handled with Ice (whether they are MADE out of it or not) as they should be immune to it.

Also to say just because they don't have visible fire, they can't be immune makes it a retarded concept. So am I to guess that Snapdragon somehow breathes fire but can't keep himself warm just because he himself isn't engulfed? By that thinking, Pepper Pult isn't completely in fire. Only it's projectile is, so that small flame can't be that hot to save it (or any other plant) from being frozen.

Basically it boils down to the fact that PopCap screwed around with their "logic". Just like with the fire plants on other worlds, PopCap could have made Snapdragon's fins glow red to indicate that he had an auxillary ability in FC and that would have made sense.
