Plants (PvZ2)

For other uses, see plants.

Plants are living organisms that belong to the Plantae kingdom. They obtain most of their energy from sunlight in a process called photosynthesis. However, not all plants absorb energy via photosynthesis. They are the protagonists of Plants vs. Zombies 2 and the player's main defense against the undead assailants.

Number of plants

There is a total 33 plants from the first game, and 38 newly added plants totals to 71 plants in Plants vs. Zombies 2. The Chinese version, however, has 87 plants, due to 16 exclusive plants. The number of plants is ever growing due to PopCap Games's intentions to update the game and add more plants, worlds and zombies.

A few of the plants exclusive to the first game appear as cameos such as Pumpkin, Gatling Pea, and Flower Pot and Cob Cannon.
