Trivia

The unused flying plant resembles the Garlic Drone, Rotobaga, and Loquat. Among all of these, it resembles Cycloquat the most.
The Miner Zombie's ability resembles the Digger Zombie's ability in the first game.
The Artichoke plant resembles the Artichoke plant in Plants vs. Zombies: All Stars.
The Scarecrow-like zombie possibly could have crushed plants with its scarecrow. Similar to the Surfer Zombie, but does not have the ability to surf.
The Mammoth Wall-nut may have been the inspiration for Primal Wall-nut.
The unused pineapple plant closely resembles Pineapple, a plant exclusive to the Chinese version of the game

Early design

Before the release of the game, these are the graphics that were going to be used.

Plant Food
Plant Food Bar
The player got the Lightning Reed
The player got the Chili Bean
Seed packets
A screenshot of gameplay
Another screenshot of gameplay
Power Ups

UI concept art

The following images are concept art done by Noah Maas. Tactical Cuke, an unused upgrade or Power Up, can be seen. According to the first three images, it seems that the seed packets were like the first game's seed packets on mobile devices. The second image showcased that plants were once going to be leveled up like in the Chinese version and the menu button appeared on the seed selection screen. The 5th image seems to use seeds similar to the seeds in Plants vs. Zombies' DS version.

Flower Pots

The Flower Pot was seen in concept art. It was going to be used in worlds without soil or sand, similar to the Roof in the first game, such as Dark Ages and Pirate Seas. These pots are called "crappy" pot, regular pot (like the one from the first game), perma-pot (or gold pot) and hover pot.

The pots had upgrades and had different tiers. For example, the "hover pot" would allow plants to be planted on any surface. The concept was deemed to be too "tiring" and scrapped. A year later, this concept was picked up and put into use in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. Plants are now able to be upgraded via First Aid Kits.
