Bombegranate is a premium plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 released in the 5.2 update. When planted, Bombegranate explodes exactly like a Cherry Bomb and leaves behind nine pomegranate seeds in a 3x3 area on the lawn, which will explode when a zombie steps on them, damaging the respective zombie. These seeds can be planted on and can also be shoveled up, but will not refund sun, as the actual seeds do not cost any sun by themselves.
Origins
She is based on the pomegranate, a fruit-bearing deciduous shrub or small tree. Her name is a portmanteau of "bomb," referring to the fact she is an explosive, and "pomegranate," the real-life fruit this plant is based on.

Bombegranate |
Bombegranates explode and leave 3x3 grids of exploding seeds that damage zombies. Bombegranate is explosive, but she likes to think that there's more to her than that. She's also deciduous and exarillate! |
Upgrades
Bombard-mint effect
When boosted by Bombard-mint, Bombegranate will do an additional 2400 DPS and its seeds will do an additional 600 DPS.

Strategies
Bombegranate is a mix of Potato Mine and Cherry Bomb, so she should be used like one. Planting her mid-way during the level would help clearing out the zombies.
Like Grapeshot, Bombegranate can be seen as an upgrade to Cherry Bomb. Instead of producing grapes that ricochet off of walls and zombies though, Bombegranate leaves behind seeds that zombies can step on. When stepped on, the seeds will damage the zombies that step on them. Like the aforementioned plants, Bombegranate has quite a long recharge. Bringing Imitater can help alleviate her long recharge.
In Far Future, Bombegranate's initial explosion can destroy almost any mechanical enemy instantly. So using this plant in Terror from Tomorrow is recommended.
In Lost City, Bombegranate proves herself useful for shutting down big threats such as Excavator Zombies, Parasol Zombies, Relic Hunter Zombies, and Imp Porters. Also, Turquoise Skull Zombie cannot instantly destroy the seeds.
She is helpful in stopping portals in Modern Day as her seeds will make a portal not appear.
It should be noted that Bombegranate seeds do not spawn on plankless lanes in Pirate Seas or on water in Big Wave Beach, though they will spawn on Lily Pads.
Like Grapeshot, Bombegranate really does not differ in usage from Cherry Bomb, but she is a worse option compared to Grapeshot since the seeds often times are not as good of an upside as the grapes are, unless you are facing a Jester Zombie.
The player should be aware of Hair Metal Gargantuars in Neon Mixtape Tour, during metal jam, as their shockwaves can easily wipe out all seeds in front of the plant they're targeting.

Trivia
- The words "deciduous" (meaning "falling off at maturity") and "exarillate" (meaning "having no aril," with the aril being a tissue surrounding the seeds of a fruit) in its Almanac are traits of the Pomegranate, the fruit this plant is based on.
- Although Ankylosauruses push zombies via the ground, they do not set off her seeds. This also goes for zombies that did not die from the initial explosion.
- Bombegranate can appear in the Zen Garden, although the boost does nothing. Her appearance in the Zen Garden is most probably a glitch as no instant-use plants can be boosted.
- Bombegranate's blonde ponytails costumeis very similar to Kiwibeast's one only with different bow color.
- In a notice on the device's entry screen, Bombegranate is referred to as a male, despite being considered a female in the Almanac.
- This also happened to Fire Peashooter, Dandelion, Toadstool, and Cactus when they were first released.
- The seeds have a similar appearance to Dave's mold colonies, except that its seeds are red while the mold colonies are green.
- Imp Dragon Zombies are susceptible to the pomegranate seeds despite having fire immunity, causing them to be damaged if they touch the seeds.
- Jester Zombie can destroy her seeds without stepping on it when Jester Zombie deflects Coconut Cannon's projectile to the seeds.
