Step 1

First off Peashooter is your main fire power for this level, however lots of zombies here can withstand lots of damage until defeated Buckethead Cowboy's, Brickhead Zombie, and Newspaper Zombie can easily withstand lots of damage. Use Grimrose to drag tough zombies and get rid of them off the lawn, its better to plant it on Moonflower so that it can drag three zombies. Murkadamia Nut should also be planted on Moonflower shadow tiles, to have the ability to damage zombies. Newspaper Zombie can be a big problem because once enraged, he can easily eat through your lawn, this is why Grimrose should be used to drag him before he causes any problems.

Step 2

Try planting Moonflower's in the even columns, so that the adjacent columns will also have shadow tiles too, and plant them in row 2 and 4 so that the adjacent rows can also have shadow tiles. Nightshade is your main firepower, they should be enough to easily destroy Conehead Zombie and Buckethead Cowboys. However, zombies such as: Robo-Cone Zombie will take a while to defeat, so then plant some Murkadamia Nuts on Shadow Tiles to stall them and to damage them at the same time, be sure to have some Moonflower's up front, so that they can be shadow boosted. Murkadamia Nuts are also helpful against Weasel Hoarder because Nightshade would be easily overwhelmed by Ice Weasel's however Murkadamia Nuts act like Spikeweed's, which allows Ice Weasel to easily be defeated, and they can regenerate if eaten, so that you don't have to keep on replacing. Make sure to plant some Murkadamia Nuts in column 5 to stall Swashbuckler Zombies. Start replacing some Nightshades with Dusk Lobber because they can deal more group damage and can easily destroy groups of zombies which is helpful against packs of Ice Weasels, however save some Nightshade for quick severe damage.

Step 3

If you want to easily protect the endangered Moonflower's, then use Murkadamia Nut as a defense and as a attacking plant, since it can protect and damage zombies at the same time, be sure to place it in the shadow range to activate its ability, Moonflower's should be also planted upclose to also allow Murkadamia Nuts to gain their ability. In all, the plants that the game gives you for this levels is quite powerful, Gold Bloom can help you get a sun boost while pre-planted Moonflower should also give you a bit of sun. Iceberg Lettuce should be used to chill down zombies, especially Explorer Zombie because he can easily burn plants, which means that is the Murkadamia Nuts weakness. The best thing is that it is Imitated so that it can easily freeze zombies fast, Iceberg Lettuce should also be use on Newspaper Zombie and Sunday Edition Zombie once their Newspaper is destroyed, since they can easily eat plants, run fast, and eat the endangered Moonflower's, so freezing them can help, stall them a bit before. Dusk Lobber is effective because it can easily damage groups of Camel Zombies, triads of Roman Shield Zombie, and other zombies. They are very helpful in destroying Newspaper Zombie and Sunday Edition Zombie. Iceberg Lettuce should also be used on Glitter Zombie and Zombie Medusa since they can also crush plants, making it easy to destroy the endangered Moonflower's, Glitter Zombie should be defeated fast so that she won't protect zombies behind her for a longer time. Use Plant Food on Dusk Lobber to deal widespread damage or Instant refresh Gold Bloom to gain plenty of sun.

Step 4

Shadow Peashooter is the most reliable plant in this level because his strikethrough ability when boosted by Moonflower can easily damage all zombies in it's lane and slowing them down, also makes zombies take longer to get to your house, just be sure that Moonflower is near Shadow Peashooter to boost them. Combo with Spikeweed is very effective because since zombies take longer to move, Spikeweed can deal more damage which can easily defeat Jurassic Conehead and Jurassic Buckethead fast, also when teamed up with Murkadamia Nut, they can deal more damage while the zombies eat, and will take longer to completely eat him because of being slowed down, you can use these three plants together to easily take out Jurassic Fossilhead and Jurassic Bully. Apple Mortar can also help by slowing down zombies which can allow Spikeweed to deal more damage. Shadow Peashooter can easily slow down Zombie Parrot (summoned from Pirate Captain Zombie) from stealing plants and could easily destroy them. Since Robo-Cone Zombie has extreme health, plant Shadow Peashooter under Robo-Cone Zombie to drag them and destroy them. Make sure that some Shadow Peashooter are in column 1 (be sure they are boosted by Moonflower) to drag Prospector Zombie if they managed to preform their ability to jump to the other side of the lawn, but they should easily be defeated before preforming their ability. Gladiator Gargantuar is a big problem because due to being stronger than Gargantuar's, it will take a long time to defeat them, Shadow Peashooter will be useless against him because they will hide when Gladiator Gargantuar appears next to them, making them do nothing against him. Try stalling him best with Shadow Pea and Apple Mortar, and stall him with Spikeweed (to deal more damage) or Murkadamia Nut. Use Plant Food with Shadow Peashooter to deal widespread damage.

Step 5

Protecting the flowers is very important and help you win the level. But it don't be easy because of potions boosting zombies speed or buffing its health, so stalling is very important, and with a level 10 Murkadamia Nut, it has stronger health, so make sure to boost it deal more damage to zombies. Although Chicken Wrangler Zombie can easily spawn Zombie Chicken's and can easily trample the flower's, Murkadamia Nut when boosted by Moonflower should easly destroy them right away when close to him. Dusk Lobber may be a good plant because of the powerful splash damage, but Jester Zombie and Parasol Zombie can easily deflect or throw back the projectiles, which becomes a problem, so try to limit how much Dusk Lobber plants you should have. Sun production isn't that important because the Moonflower's given, but if you want a headstart then use it. The player should also have a explosive plant like Cherry Bomb or Primal Potato Mine because tough zombies such as: Barrelhead Zombies, Cart-Heat Zombie, and Zcorpion Zombie can easily become a problem, so these explosive plants can dramatically destroy or reduce their health. Have additional plants that are strikethrough to easily damage zombies without being deflected, make sure you have Iceberg Lettuce or Stallia, to slow down zombies such as: Imp Cannon and Zcorpion Zombie from spawning too much zombies. Zcorpion Zombie can be a problem because vases can easily spawn on the flower's, thus making you loose the level, so try having Spikeweed or Spikerock to cause Zcorpion Zombie to constantly launch vases at them. Ambushes of Swashbuckler Zombie, Bug Bot Imp , and Lost Pilot Zombie will arrive, so be sure that you have some strong plants to easily get rid of them. Use Plant Food on your sun production plant to gain sun (if your low on sun), instant refresh explosive plants, or on your most strongest plant to clear out any zombies.
