Details
Enables planting on roof tiles, beach chairs, gravestones, and other non-soil surfaces. When a plant is placed inside the pot, the pot's 600 toughness is added as a buffer layer before the inner plant takes damage. Instantly removes Doom-shroom craters when planted on them.
Flower Pot is an essential utility plant for Roof and non-soil stages where plants cannot otherwise be placed. At 25 Sun it is one of the cheapest plants available and must be placed before any other plant in incompatible tiles. In Roof stages, fill every lane with Flower Pots before building your defensive grid. Flower Pot also clears Doom-shroom craters instantly, which is a critical recovery tool when a crater blocks a needed tile. In Adventure Roof stages, preplant Flower Pots in all columns during early waves when zombie pressure is low to avoid being caught without placement space during rush waves. They have 600 toughness and can briefly absorb zombie contact before the placed plant inside takes damage. Always carry Flower Pot as your first seed slot in any Roof-type stage.
Flower Pot has no direct combat role. Its value is enabling other plants to be placed on surfaces where they would otherwise be incompatible. The defensive benefit comes entirely from the plant placed inside it.
