Premium Seeds - Apple Mortar! is an Epic Quest that features five steps (ten steps before 2020) of the Premium Plant Quest for Apple Mortar. The reward is a Premium Piñata that contains 50 Seed packets, each 10 Seed packets for a worldy/premium plant (100 Seed packets for Apple Mortar before 2020). It lasted from March 21, 2017 to 28 March 2017, October 3, 2017 to October 10, 2017, August 14, 2018 to August 21, 2018, May 7, 2019 to May 14, 2019, August 12, 2020 to August 19, 2020, and November 16, 2020 to November 23, 2020.

Step 1

This step is similar to Modern Day - Day 1. This level looks quit easy, but the player must be prepared. The zombies spawning are very basic, but the catch is, Portals will appear quite close to the Player's house and spawn dangerous zombies. They have high health (Robo-Cone Zombie for example), can crush/push plants (Barrel Roller Zombie and Mecha-Football Zombie) or spawn Tombstones (Tomb Raiser Zombie). When prepared, the plants are enough for the player to handle them though.

The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost lane.

Step 2

This step is similar to Modern Day - Day 2. And just like the first step, the main (and maybe the only) threat is Portals appearing. This time the zombies spawning are Surfer Zombie and Octo Zombie, which together they are able to take out plants very fast. In addition, the Surfer Zombies can block the attacks from Apple Mortar.

Step 3

This step is similar to Modern Day - Day 4. Unlike the other steps, the huge amount of (smaller) zombies, especially Imps, forms a problem, because the plants that are given aren't too great at taking care of hoards of zombies. The big amount of Wizard Zombies at the end of the level (which aren't actually in the original Modern Day level) form a huge threat as well, so in no time all plants are transformed into sheep.

Step 4

This step is similar to Modern Day - Day 7. Just like the other steps, this level can be quite tough. This is because the level is about Octo Zombie, which is a very dangerous zombie. Almost all plants that are given are used for slowing the zombies, which can be useful against Octo Zombie, but this does leave Apple Mortar as the only attacker. It will be hard for Apple Mortar to defend against both the zombies and the octopi that are created by Octo Zombie. On top of that, some Jester Zombies will spawn from portals, who can only be defeated by Apple Mortar when frozen by Iceberg Lettuce.

Step 5

This level (similar to Modern Day - Day 9) might be the easiest step of the quest, the plants that are given can deal with the zombies pretty well. Explorer Zombie might be the biggest threat, being able to destroy Celery Stalker when it's attacking a zombie from behind.
