Inferno doesn't feel like he gets enough credit. "Of course I burn zombies," he fumes. "That's a given. But what about how I sweep them down the lane through the sheer force of hot air? Where's my prize for that?"

“	Plant Infernos to burn and push back zombies.	”
—Penny

Inferno is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 introduced in the 8.9.1 update. Inferno swirls up fire tornados every 5.95-6.05 seconds, knocking zombies back and damaging them. The first zombie that encounters the fire tornado will take 5 times as much damage.

Origins

Inferno is based on a fern, a plant famously known for reproducing via spores rather than flowers and seeds.

His name is a pun on "fern" and "inferno," which is a term used to describe a large fire, referencing his fire based abilities.

His overall appearance, that being a fiery bush, could be a reference to the burning bush from the Bible.

Strategies

Inferno's fire tornado acts like a reverse Sandstorm/Snowstorm wave, except it blows zombies away from the house rather than bringing them towards the house. It's plant food ability can eliminate a lot of zombies quickly. It is also wise to save up some sun to plant one of these as it's somewhat expensive at 200.

However, if the player hasn't purchased Chomper, Inferno teamed up with Pepper-pult, Hot Date, or Pyre Vine can also be an effective combo in eradicating hordes of zombies. For final waves, it also works best teamed up with Pepper-mint when many zombies reach the column closest to the house.
