The Night area, also known as Nightfall in Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition, is the second stage of Adventure Mode and the setting of the ten levels after the daytime levels in Plants vs. Zombies. It is exactly like the Day levels in layout except that it takes place in the nighttime; therefore, mushrooms stay awake and sun does not fall from the sky. Because of the lack of falling sun, it is much harder to defend the home without using mushrooms, and the player's sun producers have to be well-guarded.
Sun-shrooms take the place of Sunflowers, and Scaredy-shrooms and Puff-shrooms take the place of Peashooters. Also, during this stage, graves will appear at the beginning of the level in random points on the half of the lawn farthest from the player's house. They cannot be planted on, and zombies surface from them during the final wave of a level. However, the graves can be removed by Grave Busters.
Nocturnal Plants, which mainly consists of mushrooms, are the key to Night levels due to the lack of sun and the fact that they generally require less sun than normal day time plants. The most important mushroom introduced in these levels is the Puff-shroom, which costs no sun at all. This is helpful because of the lack of sun.
However, their short range means the player will eventually have to move on to better ranged mushrooms such as the Fume-shrooms and the Scaredy-shrooms, which are still both relatively cheap. The Sun-shroom, which costs less sun than the Sunflower, is also important. Sun-shrooms are vital as they are the only source of sun during the night (or Sunflowers if one was to decide to plant them). The other nocturnal plants introduced are Hypno-shrooms, Ice-shrooms, and Doom-shrooms.
An important trick for the Dancing Zombie is to use a Hypno-shroom on it as fast as possible to avoid non-hypnotized Backup Dancers. The hypnotized Dancing Zombie will summon hypnotized Backup Dancers, and this is extremely useful most of the time, albeit one should be careful not to hypnotize any Backup Dancers instead.

Trivia
The song played in this area is called "Moongrains". While it also plays during the Night level, it is the only one that changes drastically during the huge waves of zombies, with a change in tune and more instruments.
In Survival: Night levels, even in between huge waves, the music also changes, while in regular levels after a huge wave has passed, the music reverts to the original.
Zombonis do not appear in Night stages because of the presence of graves; their ice trails would go under the grave but not smash it.
This is without taking into account the Android TV version of Level 2-10, which does feature them despite this.
In Survival Mode, at least one grave pops up before the last huge wave of zombies approaches, meaning it is impossible to completely remove the graves so they never come back.
If the right half of the lawn is full of plants, then one plant will be removed to make space for graves (graves do not appear on the left three columns).
