Cattail (猫尾草; māo wěi cǎo) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. They've gotten several changes compared to Plants vs. Zombies: it can be planted on both water and land and can be planted without a Lily Pad. It fires only a single spike and has improved accuracy so any of its spikes in the air targeting a dead zombie will now target another.

Its damage is increased, and it now has a chance to stun zombies for one second. Plus, it also has a very small chance of shooting a giant missile, in which a Level 1 Cattail's giant missile is capable of killing a Level 2 Gargantuar instantly.

Strategies

In this game, it can be used as a more expensive but more versatile alternative to Homing Thistle as while it costs more, it can stun zombies, can be planted on water and having better accuracy than him. Still, it is expensive so it is not a good idea to use it only.

Do not use it against Balloon Zombie as it cannot instantly pop the balloon in this game.
