Decomposing Pumpkin is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is unlocked in Plants vs. Zombies 2 by spending $14.99 for "Decomposing Pumpkin's Bundle" from October 29, 2019 to November 10, 2019. It can also be unlocked

Like Pumpkin, it doesn't occupy a garden space for itself, allowing other plants to be protected. However, unlike Pumpkin, Decomposing Pumpkin will slowly take damage to itself and after a minute, will fully disappear, similarly to Puff-shroom.

Origins
Like Pumpkin, Decomposing Pumpkin is based off a pumpkin, a fruit belonging to the squash genus.

His name, Decomposing Pumpkin is a combination of Decomposing, referring to it's ability and Pumpkin, the fruit that Decomposing Pumpkin is based on.

Strategies
Decomposing Pumpkin is a good plant to use as a last resort, as it can last for a while. This should not be used however as the player's main defensive plant, as Decomposing Pumpkin only lasts for a limited time. However, his sun cost is extremely good for the plant, being 0, the cheapest of all of the defensive plants. Decomposing Pumpkin's Plant Food is very good if you accidentally use Decomposing Pumpkin as your main defensive plant.

This plant is good to use in Last Stand/Arena levels, as it costs 0, meaning that you can use more expensive plants without using that much sun for defensive plants.

Plant Food Effect
Decomposing Pumpkin, when consuming Plant Food, will heal all of the Decomposing Pumpkins back to full health. Additionally, when a plant is planted on top of it when you activate it's Plant Food effect, the plant on top will also activate it's Plant Food effect.

Reinforce-mint Effect
When boosted with Reinforce-mint, Decomposing Pumpkin will stop the timer for the amount of time where the mint is on the lawn.
