Plants vs. Zombies Heroes: Plant Card Guide

There’s no question that in the early going, it’s more popular to play plants than zombies in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes. It might be due to the fact that EA and PopCap’s card battler starts you out on that side of the neverending struggle, or that previous PvZ games mostly have you fighting against the undead, not teaming with them.

Whatever the case may be, plants have been the people’s choice so far, and it’s quite possible you feel the same way. But unless you’ve been playing nonstop since launch, there’s virtually no way you’ve come across every card the plant heroes can use just yet.

That’s where we come in. We’ve at least taken a deep dive into Plants vs. Zombies Heroes to check out everything the plants have at their disposal. The result is the list you see below of every plant card in the game right now — and we’ll do our best to keep it updated as more are added.

If this doesn’t have you scheming new ways to send zombies back to the afterlife, we don’t know what will.

Wondering how to get more plant cards without having to put up with those pesky zombies? Check out the Fertilizer Premium Pack in the store. For 150 Gems, you get 6 premium cards, all guaranteed to be from the plant side, including one rare or better card or a hero you haven’t already unlocked. And if you save up 1500 Gems, you can get 11 Fertilizer Premium Packs at one shot.

Also, if you hit the ‘For You’ tab in the store, you’ll find more Premium Packs tailored especially for the plant heroes in your collection. These are the most expensive packs in the game — 200 Gems per pack or 2000 Gems for 11 of them — but the expense could be worth it to focus specifically on boosting your plant decks.

Happy gardening!
