• Rotobaga
• Split Pea
• Starfruit

Commentary:
We can not sugar-coat this or say it another way. This plant is SO GOOD we consider it “broken”. By this we mean that Pea Vine + Torchwood + another Appease-Mint plant setup is so good that there is no reason to play another strategy.

Let's take an example:
Repeater at level 1 does 20 damage x 2 peas for 40 damage. Plant Pea Vine and this now jumps to 40 * 1.5x + 20 (for Pea Vine) for 80 total damage. This is at level 1.

When Repeater does 60 damage per pea (level 9 of 20) and Pea Vine does 2x (level 3), we get (60 * 2) * 2x + 40 (for Pea Vine) for a total of 280 damage.

Needless to say, even high health zombies will not survive long under this onslaught.
