Phoenix Plant

The Phoenix Plant flies, allowing you to plant it in most places without any supporting plant (like Lily Pads or Flower Pots), and it shoots a flaming pea every second, and it can attack flying zombies.

If a zombie enters a 3x3 area surrounding the Phoenix Plant, the zombie will get the burn status effect, causing the zombie to lose two health every second permanently! This also prevents the Chill or Freeze status effects though.

As it's flying, although the fireballs are affected by gravity, they can still travel an infinite distance in the Faraway Planet stages due to the elevation above the ground. You can also plant another plant beneath a Phoenix Plant.

Don't let any water touch it though. It can't be planted in a stage where it's raining, and any zombie which can attack using water will be able to insta-kill it.

Made by Milesprower2. I got the intial idea for a plant based on a Phoenix from PlantShielder.

Strategies
These are great all-round plants to use, but avoid using them if a zombie in the lineup uses water-based attacks. They can also be abducted by Zombalien UFOs, so make sure you don't JUST rely on a Phoenix Plant to deal with them. Lastly, big zombies like Gargantuars will walk into them (not under them), and will attack them, so try not to fight Gargs with this.
