Snake Grass is an event plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, and a member of the PvZH Smarty IconSmarty class. It costs 4SunPvZH to play, and has 3StrengthPvZH/2HeartPvZH. It has the Amphibious trait, and its ability makes another Snake Grass on the right lane next to it at the start of every turn, starting from the next turn after it is played.

It was introduced on March 14, 2017, along with Lily of the Valley. It was made available in the The Springening Week 2 event and was available from April 11, 2017 to April 18, 2017.

Origins

It is based on Equisetum, also known as snake grass, a plant in the genus of Equisetaceae, a family of vascular plants that reproduce by spores rather than seeds.

Its appearance is based on Natrix natrix, more commonly known as the grass snake, a reptile native to parts of Europe and Africa.

Its name can also be a reference to the phrase "a snake in the grass."

Strategies

With

Snake Grass is capable of filling the lanes very quickly and blocking off zombies from attacking you, and because it has Amphibious, it can even defend aquatic lanes. However, doing so makes his ability useless as the aquatic lanes are usually the rightmost lanes.

As Green Shadow, this card works great with Muscle Sprout because each Snake Grass made will raise its stats. Nightcap can use Snake Grass effectively with Pineclone, spawning more plants to increase the number of Pineclones transformed, although the only difference between Snake Grass and Pineclone is that Pineclone has 1 more health. Template:PvZHLink can play a defensive Team-Up plant in front of Snake Grass such as Template:PvZHLink to protect it and allow it to keep making more Snake Grass if it gets destroyed. You can also boost multiple Snake Grass at the same time with Navy Bean as they have the Amphibious trait, giving all of them +1StrengthPvZH/+1HeartPvZH. Also, its base strength stat of 3 makes it immune to Weed Spray, Rolling Stone, and Rocket Science, although its low health makes it vulnerable to Bungee Plumber, and especially, The Chickening.

However, Snake Grass has a few drawbacks, most notably its lack of the Team-Up trait. This means that it can easily take up space and prevent you from playing any other non-Team-Up plants there unless you Bounce it with Rescue Radish. It also has middling stats for its cost and a pair of tribes that cannot synergize at all with other plants.

Still, Snake Grass will ensure that you can keep the lanes full, and if combined with Muscle Sprout or stat boosting cards like Storm Front and Berry Angry, can be very deadly against unprepared opponents.

Against

Snake Grass can be an annoying plant to face, due to its multiplying capabilities. if you do not have enough zombies, you can end up taking a surprising amount of damage, and if your opponent has a Muscle Sprout on the field, it only gets worse. Therefore, you should destroy Snake Grass before it can activate its ability by using damaging tricks like Bungee Plumber and Zombot's Wrath, or by moving zombies into its way with tricks such as Smoke Bomb or Beam Me Up.

If there are too many Snake Grass on the field, the best way to take out all of them at once is to play The Chickening, as any unboosted Snake Grass will be destroyed instantly by it. You can also use the Teleport + Zombot 1000 combination, but it can only primarily used by Immorticia. PvZH Strikethrough IconStrikethrough zombies are handy if there are any Team-Up plants in the way.

Because they can multiplying, try to use Supernova Gargantuar to destroy all of them.
