吹风荚兰一直想成为一名理发师，但是他只能吹出各种造型 Wind-Blowing Vanilla has always wanted to be a hairdresser, but he can only blow a variety of shapes.

Wind-Blowing Vanilla (吹风荚兰, lit. "Blow Wind Vanilla; pinyin: Chuīfēng Jiálán), also known as "Fanilla" is a plant from Steam Age in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2. He attacks all zombies in his lane with a wind that deals 40 damage per shot. After attacking several times, Wind-Blowing Vanilla will release a small tornado that will stop at the first zombie it encounters, stunning any zombie in its area and dealing damage over time for a few seconds before disappearing.

His tornado also stops Gentleman Zombie's flight and makes him drop to the ground. Both of his attacks will also cause Glider Zombie to drop to the ground.

Origins

He is based on the vanilla orchid, likely the flat-leaved vanilla (Vanilla planifolia).

Strategies

The main purpose of Wind-Blowing Vanilla is to counter flying Gentleman Zombie. However, he's outclassed by Blover due to faster recharge and lower sun cost. This plant needs upgrading for better firepower. Wind-Blowing Vanilla has a slow rate of fire and low damage but he can attack through multiple enemies and also he's cheap, so it's useful against Chicken Wrangler Zombie and Weasel Hoarder.

Due to Wind-Blowing Vanilla's slow recharge it is recommended to use Imitater. Small tornado that Wind-Blowing Vanilla summons every fifth attack should be used like Kiwifruit's or Maypop Mechanic's attack which also stops zombies.

Trivia

• His costume is related to costumed Plant Food effect because both of them are related to the theme of snow and chill.
• His Level 2 upgrade's name "空气炮" ("Air Cannon") is likely a reference to the gadget with the same name from Doraemon.
