This page is about the plants appeared in the game in Normal Mode. For Adventure Mode plants, see Plants (PvZO Adventure).

For other uses, see plants.

Plants are living organisms that belong to the Plantae kingdom. They obtain most of their energy from sunlight in a process called photosynthesis. However, not all plants absorb energy via photosynthesis. They are the protagonists of Plants vs. Zombies Online and the player's main defense against the undead assailants.

There were a total of 36 plants in Normal Mode, with 24 returning from Plants vs. Zombies 2 and 12 new ones. Two plants were upgrades of normal plants, and one plant could only be obtained by VIPs.

In the months following the game's release, PopCap intended to add more worlds to the game via updates, and these worlds brought with them more plants. However, the game has since shut down, and therefore, this list reflects the plants that were available during the period the game was playable.

Additionally, a few of the plants not returning from the first game instead appeared in cameo roles.
