Heat Moss

Heat Moss is a supporting Plant in the game Plants vs. Zombies: Suburbia Defenders. It is unlocked after completing Day 4 of Ice Rink.

Heat Moss can be planted on, similar to Sod and Flower Pot. While planted under a Flower Pot, the Flower Pot will be immune to Ice Rink's Freezing effect. Heat Moss also cannot be eaten, as Zombies will just walk over it, similar to Sod.

Alternatively, Heat Moss can be used as a cheaper Sod for Pepper-mint Family Plants, who can be planted on top of Heat Moss without the aid of a Flower Pot. However, this will take up an extra Seed Packet space, so it is probably better to just bring a Sod and play it safe.

Appearance:
Heat Moss appears to be a square of red-colored moss, with visible flames coming off of it.

Origin:
Heat Moss is based on peat moss, a common type of moss, and heat.

Overview:
Heat Moss is nearly essential in Ice Rink, as it is the only plant able to warm up other Plants that does not interfere with chilled Zombies. As such, it is absolutely necessary when using a snow Plant strategy. Otherwise, it can be useful as a way to conserve Sun for your fire Plants, but remember that this will take up an extra Seed Slot to use.

As such, it is absolutely necessary when using a snow Plant strategy. It also works well to heat up Plants that are not near firey Plants and can save you money by not having to spam Pepper-pults to keep your defenses alive. Otherwise, it can be useful as a way to conserve Sun for your fire Plants, but remember that this will take up an extra Seed Slot to use.
