Starfruit is a seed packet Premium plant appearing in Plants vs. Zombies 2, obtainable for 200 seed packets.
Starfruit attacks by projecting stars (every 1.35-1.5 seconds) in five different directions whenever a zombie is in his line of fire: one to the left, one going up, one going down, one going to the upper right (gradient of 1/2), and the last going lower right (gradient of -1/2).
Each star deals 20 damage. If a zombie is exactly in front of him, with or without eating him, the zombie will be damaged by two of the five sides of Starfruit. As long as there is at least one enemy in range, Starfruit will send projectiles in all 5 directions.

Strategies[]
Starfruit stands out from other projectile-based plants for specializing in attacking lanes other than the lane he is planted on. His strength lies in his relatively high firepower potential for his cost, as well as the ability to neutralize enemies attempting to attack plants from the back, such as Prospector Zombie and zombies lifted from Pterodacytls.
However, like the first game, he suffers from his projectiles being awkward in his position with no way to defend himself from zombies directly ahead of him. There are ways to get around this, such as utilizing ice floes in Frostbite Caves, or guiding the horde with Garlic and Sweet Potato.
Starfruit faces competition from Rotobaga, whose firing pattern also allows her to hit enemies from adjacent lanes. Compared to Rotobaga, Starfruit exchanges firepower for greatly increased range, since he can attack enemies from much further compared to Rotobaga and therefore will find more use against stronger enemies as it would give more time for Starfruit to damage enemies. A column of Starfruits is a decent choice against Chicken Zombies and Ice Weasels as his high-velocity projectiles will reach these zombies faster compared to Rotobaga.
Starfruit is an excellent choice against Imps thrown by Gargantuars or Zombie Bulls, Prospector Zombies and zombies carried by Pterodactyls; placing a column of Starfruits in the column where the aforementioned zombies would land, they would be quickly neutralized from the stars coming from either above, below, or behind. Columns of Starfruits in Big Wave Beach is very good against Octo Zombies, as the Starfruit's rapid, multi-directional attack can quickly destroy the octopuses thrown by them. Overall, Starfruit is generally a better choice than Rotobaga, but Rotobaga benefits as she is able to be planted on water tiles in Big Wave Beach without the aid of Lily Pad.
Starfruit also faces competition in the Chinese version with his female counterpart, Angel Starfruit, as both have lots of similar characteristics. But both have their own advantages:
Starfruit when at least level 2 can pierce zombies with its stars, but Angel Starfruit can also do that, but only at level 5. But Angel Starfruit when level 3 can shoot both red stars which deal extra damage and blue stars which are ice-like projectiles and behave like ice projectiles as well and she also does more damage. Both are good choices, but when it comes to piercing, Starfruit is better, but in situations with Explorer Zombies and tough nuts, use Angel Starfruit.

Trivia[]
- For some reason, in the Chinese version advertisement of his Plant Food upgrade the first picture shows the Starfruit with both his international costume (afro and mustache) and his Chinese costume (antennae) on the same Starfruit. He does not have the afro and mustache costume in the Chinese version.
- As of the Power Plants update, he shoots his projectiles much faster.
- His entry references that he is tied with Far Future, since he was introduced with that world. Despite this, his seed packets are found in Wild West pinatas.
- He is the fourth plant to have its status changed from a premium plant to a seed-unlockable plant, the first being Blooming Heart, then Hot Date, Explode-O-Nut, and Starfruit respectively.
- If a boosted Starfruit is planted directly under a Gargantuar, all of his projectiles will hit it, unlike Rotobaga.
- Unlike the first game, he makes a sound when firing.
- He now has leaves around himself than he did in the first game.
- He also changed its eye color from white to black.
