- For the version in the international version of Plants vs. Zombies 2, see Plant Family (PvZ2).
The menu
Plant Family was added in the 2.0.0 update, and is located in the Plants section. It is very similar to the Plant upgrade system in Plants vs. Zombies 2. This lets the player increase the stats of their plants in a family. Each time the player upgrades a plant in a family, it will give the plant family an upgrade that has a random stat increased for a random amount. (See the full list below) Each family can choose up to 2 upgrades with the second one requiring 100 gems to unlock. The player is able to upgrade their plants for free 3 times a day. If they want to upgrade them further, it will cost gems for every upgrade after that. Getting more plants in a family will upgrade the level of that family, which will increase later upgrades' power.

Trivia[]
- Despite being called Newcomers, the plants in the Newcomers family are plants that are not new and are in many Plants vs. Zombies games.
- It was probably meant to refer to the fact that these plants are used primarily by newcomers to the game.
- Multiple plant family names are references, including:
- 百步穿僵 which originates from a Chinese idiom "百步穿杨", meaning literally "pierce a willow leaf with an arrow from the distance of a hundred paces".
- 踩僵尸的蘑菇 which originates from a Chinese nursery rhyme 采蘑菇的小姑娘 (The girl who picks up mushrooms). In Chinese, "Step on (踩)" and "pick up (釆)" have the same pronunciation.
- 我要打十个 which is a reference to Ip Man's line in Ip Man.
- 惊声尖笑 which is the Chinese name of the movie Scary Movie.
- 十二生肖 is the only plant family to only contain two plants instead of five.
