Upgrades
- If you were looking for plants in Plants vs. Zombies which were planted on other plants for their effect, see Upgrade plants.
Upgrades are utilities that enhance the gameplay positively, such as having the ability to launch lawn mowers or increasing the maximum Plant Food capacity. There are fourteen Upgrades in Plants vs. Zombies 2, in which seven are Power Ups (four in the Chinese version) and seven are bonuses.
Like plants, upgrades are usually found on world maps. There are also some upgrades that cannot be obtained this way and instead sold in the in-game store for real money.
