Card description
''It's the tiny seed of a... nobody actually knows.''

Strategies
Using the Seedling is a slightly risky move, as even though it has the ability to transform into powerful plants like the Super Phat Beets, it can also transform into a less powerful plant, like the Peashooter. Also, make sure to protect the Seedling while it is on the field with plants that have Team-Ups, such as Shellery, since if it is taken out by zombies, it will not be able to transform into anything, wasting 2 sun and a potential free plant.

If possible, plant this Teammate in the earlier turns, as less dangerous Zombie Teammates will appear due to the low number of Brains the Zombie Hero may have.

Counters
Due to its weak amount of health it has, you can simply use a Zombie or Imp to defeat it, or tricks such as Flick-a-Plant. Take advantage of its low health with Frenzy zombies, such as Smashing Gargantuars, since they should be able to defeat the Seedling in one attack, which allows them to attack again.

Trivia

 * If the Seedling transforms into a plant that has its special abilities activated when it is played, that plant will not use its abilities. This is because when the Seedling transforms into a plant, it is not count as playing that plant.
 * If this happens with Wild Berry, this glitch will result in the next turn never coming, forcing the player to concede.
 * Its description references its ability to turn into a random plant.
 * If the player gives this plant strength points, the projectile it fires is similar to Dandy Lion King's projectile when it is played.
 * Strangely, Seedling can turn into another Seedling.
 * However, that seedling will be able to still transform into another plant, so this has no effect except for making it take an extra turn.
 * Funny enough, that seedling can turn into another seedling itself.
 * Viewing Seedling's stats during the fight phase will allow you to see what it is transforming into, before it begins its animation to do so.
 * Unlike the other Plant Teammates, the Seedling is facing left.
