Commentary:
Normally the Reinforce-Mint plants are all defensive. As such, all such plants are speed bumps. They buy time for the player to set up their defenses. But this comes with a cost - there will be more zombies when these plants are eaten up.

Blockoli is a different type of plant. Blockoli adds some offensive firepower. Blockoli has a nice level of hit points. Immunity from being tossed is good for the beach levels.

Bottom Line:
Get this plant. Level up this plant. Defensive plants generally are not high on anyone's list but this one pulls it weight.
