- 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 increases 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 furthermore, 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.

* 百步穿僵 originates from a Chinese idiom 百步穿杨, which means "Pierce a willow leaf with an arrow from the distance of a hundred paces".
** 踩僵尸的蘑菇 originates from a Chinese folk song 采蘑菇的小姑娘 (The girl who picks up mushrooms). In Chinese, "Step on" and "pick up" have the same pronunciation.

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 that these plants are used primarily by newcomers to the game.
