- For more information about the character that this line is based on, see Plantern.
The Plantern line (路灯系; pinyin: lùdēng xì) is a Class S 
Tenacious
plant line in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars which was added in v1.0.91 along with Dark Ages.
The line consists of Grass Lantern (灯笼草; pinyin: dēnglóng cǎo), Plantern (路灯花; pinyin: lùdēng huā), and Light Flower (灯花; pinyin: dēng huā). They all specialize in buffing the team and attack by headbutting.
Origins[]
All members of the Plantern line are based in some way off of lanterns.
Grass Lantern's name is a pun on the Physalis alkekengi's Chinese name, which can translate to mean "Grass Lantern". Grass Lantern is a literal interpretation of this name, being a lantern that is made of grass.
The second tier of the evolution line is based on Plantern, more specifically, Plantern's appearance in the Chinese version Plants vs. Zombies 2.
Light Flower's name is a pun on "light tower" and "flower".

Trivia[]
- Grass Lantern's original Chinese name is the exact same as the one for Lantern Cherry, another Chinese exclusive plant.
- Plantern's old design has probably inspired its appearance in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes.
- Despite the name of the plant, Light Flower does not resemble a flower nor a plant in any shape or form. It is closer to an actual lighthouse.
- Light Flower's costume resembles that of the classic England Police Cap.
