I was able to beat this without Gold Bloom, but not without using premium plants.

Plants:


 * Sun-shroom


 * EM Peach + Imitater


 * Celery Stalker


 * Lightning Reed


 * Blover


 * Infini-nut


 * Cold Snapdragon

Strategy: Since E.M.Peach has a recharge time of 25 seconds and an effect time of 10 seconds, you can use it repeatedly to slow down the progress of the bots after the bot swarms. Use E.M.Peach immediately after the swarm finishes landing to slow down the bots, and use Blover to blow away flying zombies immediately after using E.M.Peach.

Plant the Infini-nut immediately to the right of the flowers as soon as you see the first, Plant Food-bearing zombie. Use Celery Stalker to knock him out and plant food the Infini-nut. Keep it boosted!

Plant sun-shrooms in the second and third column; plant Lightning Reeds opportunistically in the first column, Cold Snapdragons in the column to the right of the flowers (so you end up with four + the Infini-nut in this column), and Celery Stalkers in the rightmost column and opportunistically elsewhere in the area to the left of the flowers so they can help take out the bots and give the Lightning Reed bolts a chance to reach the main horde on the right of the screen.

These were all level 1 plants, but it bummed me out a bit to have to use two premium plants (Imitater and Cold Snapdragon). I bet you could use something other than Cold Snapdragon -- maybe Phat Beet? -- but I don't see any way round using the Imitater with this strategy.
