Sweet Pea (Milesprower2)

The Sweet Pea is a peashooting plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown based on the Sweet Pea from Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, and functions as a cost-effective Repeater.

The sweet peas that it fires deal double the damage of a normal pea, essentially giving it the same damage-per-second of a Repeater, but for 50 sun less cost.

However, this comes with a substantial downside: Unlike most peashooting plants, Torchwood doesn't set the Sweet Pea's shots on fire, instead melting the candy into nothing.

He is unlocked by purchasing it from Burt's Bits & Bobs for $10,000 after fully upgrading the Pea Greenhouse.

Origin
ts appearance is based on Peashooter as well as a piece of mint candy wrapped in a cellophane wrapper. It also shoots a piece of mint candy. Its name is a reference to the sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus), a flowering plant in the genus Lathyrus in the legume family Fabaceae that is native to Sicily, southern Italy, and the Aegean Islands. The "sweet" part of its name also references the plant's candy appearance.

Strategies
Sweet Pea is basically a very cost-effective early attacker that's quicker and easier to set up than similar plants like, obviously, Repeater. However, its usefulness falls short in longer levels (typically 3+ flags) as it lacks any AoE and its projectiles can't be upgraded through the use of Torchwoods. This makes Repeaters, Pea Pods, or potentially Anger Peas (with the right strategy) much better peashooting options for longer levels, despite their higher costs.

If you intend on using Sweet Peas in longer levels, it would be wise to combine them with area of effect attackers such as Laser Beans to weed out weaker enemies, as Sweet Pea does not do well against groups.
