Umbrella Leaf is a recurring plant character within the Plants vs. Zombies franchise.
In most games, she protects the plants in a 3x3 area from threats from the sky, for example, from the Bungee Zombies of Plants vs. Zombies.
As of Plants vs. Zombies 3, Umbrella Leaf has appeared in three games.
Origins[]

Umbrella Leaf resembles a small tree more than any kind of known leaf. When a projectile comes down, she raises her leaves and blocks it. She appears to be based on the real-life mayapple (Podophyllum peltatum), due to the positioning of the leaves.
She might also be based on the real-life plant of the same name (Diphylleia cymosa).

Umbrella Leaf would later make her long-awaited return in Plants vs. Zombies 3. Once again, she protects the plants in a 3x3 area around them from aerial threats like Swinging Zombies and Bowling Zombie's bowling balls.
Keep in mind that Umbrella Leaf now has a limited number of uses, indicated by the number of petals that the flower has on her head. When Umbrella Leaf's flower runs out of petals, she will be able to protect the plants once more before disappearing, requiring the player to plant another of her to keep the plants protected.
