Bzzzzz...

The official name of this plant is Aspiragus. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

Not to be confused with Aspearagus or Acespearagus.

Aspiragus (芦笋战机; pinyin: lúsǔn zhànjī) is the third plant obtained in Sky City in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. It shoots asparagus seeds at a zombie either on its lane or lanes adjacent to Aspiragus. After attacking seven times, it rests for a second by pointing down and closing its eyes, whilst smoke pours out of its mouth.

Origins

Aspiragus is based on asparagus.

Strategies

Aspiragus is a really useful plant to use early in the game, as it's one of the only multi-directional plants the player can obtain easily. Aspiragus can take care of tons of zombie, as it can shoot in three lanes. They are really powerful in large numbers, as their damage will combine to nearly instantly kill all basic zombies. Aspiragus can also be used to breeze through early worlds like Pirate Seas or Kongfu World. It can also take huge chunks out of Zombots with its Plant Food effect. However, it does have a few second delay, as well as a random targeting system, which can be unreliable at times. On the other hand, the rest time is very quick - exactly how long it would take for Aparagus to attack once.
