Tips to Remember!
- Play Frostbite Caves Part 1 Quick Walkthrough and Strategy Guide first before this guide!
Stunion
- Stuns zombies 2 tiles in front, and can also affect zombies at the back of it.
Fire Peashooter
- Immune to frost and warms nearby plants, not free but playable on some stages.
Rotobaga
- Shoots projectiles along the four diagonals, in each direction that has a target. Not so great if placed on the first few columns, so you need to place them on the 3rd column onwards, or outside your walls (behind ice blocks for example).

Melt and use them as your bonus plants, replace if fallen (optional or no need to add or replace).- Snapdragons: After placing 2 Sunflowers, place the first 2 Snapdragons on the 2nd and 4th row first, next on 3rd, then 1st and 5th rows last. If the formation below requires 2 columns of Snapdragons, start by placing 4 of them on the the 2nd and 4th row, and so on.
- Note: Use Wall-Nuts or Tall-Nuts if needed to defend your Snapdragons.
