Basic Tips Plants vs. Zombies:

Sun, sun, and more sun. Plant as many sunflowers as quickly you can; two columns of sunflowers is a good foundation for your sun economy.

Use cheap one-hit-kill plants like potato mines and squashes in the early stages of a level to give yourself time to plant more sunflowers.

Chompers and wall-nuts work exceedingly well together.

Wall-nuts on lily pads are effective against snorkel zombies.

It takes two cherry bombs to take down a Gargantuar.

Doom-shroom craters eventually fill in by themselves.

Frozen zombies eat slower than non-frozen zombies.

Puff-shrooms, being free, are extremely useful in nighttime levels.

Conehead zombies take two and a half times more hits as regular zombies.

Buckethead zombies take five times as many hits as regular zombies.

Multiple snow-peas in a row don't slow zombies down more than one snow pea.

Destroying graves with grave busters prevent zombies from emerging from them later.

The number of flags in the lower right-hand corner of the screen gives you a rough idea how long the level will be.
