This plant was on sale for $3, so I bit (not that I really needed anymore convincing past the Premium Plant Quests, regular levels he's in, and from Piñata levels)....

ATTACK --area damage - good for crowd control of zombies at once --faster rate of fire - again good vs. crowd control, and good vs. faster targets --Can attack 3 lanes at once - versatile. Can do more with less. Ditto with the previous bullet point too really --slow effect - in a game like PvZ2, slowing down zombies buys you time, which can be as good, if not better than doing damage. Examples include getting more sun, setting up other things, waiting for a crucial plant to recharge, etc. For some zombies like guarantors, they're nullified if you keep them from steamrolling everything --freezing effect via PF Sounds nice vs. tougher zombies. This buys you even more time

--combine slow + freezing with plants like SpikeRock to use as a "force multiplier, making them more effective

SPECIFIC STUFF --can be used against the Dark Ages imp that's immune to fire --immune to freezing in Frostbite Caves --puts out Explorer Zombies torch (that ability can steamroll your defensive line), and Prospector Zombies fuse (if it gets behind your defenses, that can tear up your defensive line as well, or force you to divert other resources to it.

COST --only 150 sun --recharge is only a "few levels" slower than the quickest ones.
