Premium Seeds - Hot Date! is an Epic Quest that features 5 (8 steps before 2020) of the Premium Plant Quest for Hot Date. It lasted from May 16th, 2017 to May 23th, 2017, February 6th, 2018 to February 13th, 2018, October 30th, 2018 to November 6th, 2018, February 5 2019 to February 12, 2019, February 19, 2020 to February 26, 2020, September 16, 2020 to September 23, 2020, and July 14, 2021 - July 21, 2021. The reward is a Premium Pinata that contains 50 Seed packets each 10 Seed packets is for a world/premium plant. (Before September , 2020 it was 50 Seed packets for Hot Date and before 2020 it was 80 Seed packets for Hot Date).

Step 1

Hot Date should always be place up close and in lanes 2 and 4 so that zombies from adjacent lanes can be moved to that lane, place some in the back so that Swashbuckler Zombie and Relic Hunter Zombie can also eat a Hot Date. Phat Beet should be used as backups during times Hot Date are not available, or use them when there are a few zombies so that you don't waste them in singles instead of groups. Dodo Rider Zombie can possibly fly over the Hot Date, but it is not that likely, but still plant Phat Beets near them to ensure that they will be damaged. Buckethead Zombie can easily be destroy by Hot Date. Use Plant Food on Phat Beet to deal great damage to the closest zombies.

Waves

Step 2

This level is one of the most challenging steps in this quest, as the endangered Potato Mines can easily detonate, thus losing the level. Garlic will be very helpful in moving zombies, to the other lanes but be sure to plant them on only lane 1 and 5 since planting them in other lanes can cause them to switch back to a lane where the Potato Mines are and can detonate, and also you will place Hot Date in the other lanes which then caused zombies to move to where to Hot Date is. Be sure to replace them, when Garlic are almost eaten. Plant Spikeweeds in front of Hot Dates to destroy single zombies, so that you can save Hot Date for bigger waves. Jetpack Zombie is also a issue since it can't eat the Garlic or Hot Date, and will fly over them, luckily they won't trigger Potato Mines. Use Bloomerang to damage Jetpack Zombies, Jester Zombie is also a huge threat since throwing projectiles at them will cause them to deflect and move fast, even destroying Garlic and coming close to the endangered Potato Mines, when you see them, dig up Bloomerang. Jurassic Bully has high health, and can withstand one explosion from Hot Date as well as easily eat Garlic, they can easily reach the endangered plants, best way to stall them is with Hot Date. Use Plant Food on Potato Mine to easily destroy zombies.

Step 3

Protecting the endangered Red Stinger's will be very challenging, as Fire Trap tiles are placed around the Red Stingers, which means when zombies step on it, the Red Stingers will be destroyed. Hot Date will allow zombies to move into the lane where the Hot Date is, which avoids any zombies stepping on it. Be sure to only place them in lane 2 and 4, since it can attract zombies in other lanes too. Imp Dragon Zombie is another issue since he can't be destroyed by Hot Date or Pepper-pult since he is immune to fire, so you have to rely on Split Pea's to destroy them, but be sure that thy will also be moved to lane 2 and 4 by Hot Date. There will also be ambushes of Lost Pilot Zombie which can spawn close to your house, be sure to use Spilt Pea since they can attack stronger from behind. Parasol Zombie can block Pepper-pult projectiles, so try to get rid of them easily since pepper-pult damage is helpful. During the final wave, be sure that the Porter Gargantuar's are attracted to lane 2 or 4 by Hot Date, and finish them off with two Hot Dates.

Step 4

Your main priority is to destroy the Tombstones because they can block you from planting plants, Bloomerang should clear out the Tombstone while you attract zombies to lane 2 and 4 with Hot Date, where it is most empty. Chicken Wrangler Zombie can easily deploy Zombie Chickens which can easily trample the Flowers, which is why clearing out the Tombstone should be important. Hot Date can attract Zombie Chickens, but most of the time you will have to rely on Spikeweed to destroy them. Pianist Zombie can also be a issue since it can crush Spikeweeds and cause Cowboy Zombies to switch lanes, but use them as a advantage to easily make Hot Date explode since it will instantly explode when crushed by him. Jester Zombie can easily run fast when you attack him with Bloomerang, so dig up any Bloomerang on his lane and let him be attracted by Hot Date before he causes any problems.

Step 5

Bowling Bulb will be your best attacking plant as it can attack multiple targets at once, try putting it on a the Minecart so that it can move around several lanes Dave's mold colonies are placed all the way in the back, so you should not be concerned too much about it, however Pharaoh Zombie can easily walk into the mold once his Sarcophagus is broken. Hot Date is very important because it can destroy tough such as: Pharaoh Zombie, Poncho Zombie, and Knight Zombie, however Imp Cannon can shoot out Imps that can pass the Hot Date, you have to rely on other plants to destroy these Imps, be sure to destroy Imp Cannons fast or else they will explode. Use Plant Food on Bowling Bulb to deal massive damage. Repeater should be used as backup attacking plant.
