Spikeweed is not usually used as a primary source of damage due to the fact that it is only contained in one small spot. However, what sets Spikeweed apart from other offensive plants is the fact that he can't be destroyed by normal means, meaning Spikeweed is more likely to survive a sketchy situation than a normal plant and can allow an easier chance at recovery.
Spikeweed is better when paired with wall plants, such as Wall-Nut or Lychee, as he can do damage to zombies as they are being stalled by these plants.

Anyone that steps on Spikeweed finds he's kind of like a sharp carpet. A "sharpet," if you will. He prefers "carparp," but that's him.
Upgrades
Plant Food effect
Spikeweed's Plant Food ability is named Get over Here. Spikeweed will send out thorns across the whole lane, pulling in zombies closer to where he is located.

Spikeweed is good for killing zombies with special attacks, such as the Pitchfork Zombie or the Donut Roller, while one can launch plants behind him, Spikeweed is immune to this attack. Donut Roller also does no damage to the Spikeweed.
Spikeweed is better when paired with wall plants, such as Wall-Nut or Buttercup, as he can do damage to zombies as they are being stalled by these plants.
Breakout Tips (Quotes)
Stealthy Robber Imps can't be shot? I don't need to shoot'em. I just need'em to step on me. (Robber Imp's tip)
Some say I let zombies walk all over me. But when they're Stealth or Swarm zombies, that's a good thing!
