Plants (Plants vs. Zombies 3)
This article pertains to a game that is currently unavailable. It will return soon with major updates and changes made, but for now this page reflects its last available version.
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 3 and the player’s main defense against the undead assailants.
There are currently a total of 16 plants, 11 of which are plantable using seed packets with the other 5 as power-ups.
