Queen Gilliflower

Queen Gilliflowers are semi-defensive flowers that absorb the bites from surrounding plants.

Overview
By itself, Queen Gilliflower does not have a lot of health. Her defensive capabilities stem from the plants around her. When a zombie bites a plant next to her, she will take the bite instead. Here she has much more health, but note that this health is separate from her actual health. She will be eaten if either health points go down to 0.

Note that Queen Gilliflower does not have a separate health meter for every plant she covers. They all share the same 70 ndb of health between them.

Queen Gilliflower does not absorb damage from other defensive plants. She also does not absorb bites from instant- or single-use plants, such as Potato Mine or Sun Bean.

If a plant such as Aloe attempts to heal a Queen Gilliflower, it will only heal her secondary health (the defensive part). Her main health is not affected by healing, aside from her Plant Food.

If a plant is in between two or more Queen Gilliflowers, then the Queen with the least amount of plants around her will take the bites. If they all somehow have the same amount of plant by them, then the bites go to the Queen with the most health. If this is also the same, then the bites go to a random Queen.

Queen Gilliflower's ability will stop Puff-shroom and Agage from withering.

Queen Gilliflower is based off of the Hesperis matronalis, sometimes called the queen's gilliflower. This is also where her name comes from.

Plant Food Ability
Using Plant Food on a Queen Gilliflower causes it to increase the health of every plant in a 3x3 area by 15 ndb. This also completely heals both of The Queen's health bars.

Strategies
Queen Gilliflowers work well with both defensive plants and offensive plants. Queens help extend a wall's lifespan, keeping zombies back. They can also keep heavy-hitters alive longer, allowing them to deal more damage.

Queens are also very effective when paired up with Holograin. A Holo-Queen paired with a defensive plant, especially Garlic, makes for a reliable defense.

If your main priority is to keep Queen Gilliflower alive, plant few plants around her, preferably in front of her. This means that the zombies have fewer outlets to eat the Queen.
