Heather

Heather is the third plant obtained in Viennese Classics in Plants vs. Zombies 2. The player can tap on it to make it store 50 sun and drag Plant Food on it to both activate it's Plant Food ability and store a Plant Food. It can only take up to three items.

The only way to release an item is to use the shovel on it. Shoveling it once will remove a petal. Storing one item will remove the plant whole when shoveled, two items make it need to be shoveled twice, and thrice if you stored three items. Other than that, Wall-nut First Aid will work on this plant only if it has been shoveled when it is storing two to three items.

Origins
The Heather is based on the Calluna vulgaris , also known as the common heather.

Almanac entry
Sun cost: 125 RECHARGE: Fast

Heathers store sun and Plant Food for you.

Special: tap to store sun on it, feed Plant Food to store it, shovel to release an item

All three are named Heather.

Plant Food upgrade
Heather will get a shield for each time it has to store Plant Food. Plant Food is kept in one of her petals afterwards.

Strategies
Heather is the perfect plant to deal with if you have too much sun or Plant Food. It should be highly protected by defensive plants as it will make a zombie hold the Plant Food it stores if it gets eaten. Any means of destruction will make it release the items you have stored it. However, due to it's complex controls, Heather may be a difficult plant to utilize.

It is preferable that you use Heather to store only Plant Food, as sun is essential for your construction on defenses, and if you are on Ancient Egypt or Lost City, Ra Zombies or Turquoise Skull Zombies have a chance to collect the sun you have stored and use it as an advantage.
