Difficulty
Tombstones first appear in this level. These obstacles block projectiles shot by plants, but can be destroyed. If playing for the first time, Peashooters will become less effective, though the player can use the newly acquired Cabbage-pult, which lobs shots over the tombstones to damage the incoming zombies.
Waves
- The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.

Strategies
- Recommended plants (first time only)
- Plant one column of Sunflowers, then one column of Cabbage-pults, two columns of Peashooters and one column of Wall-nuts. That should stop all zombies except for Bucketheads.
- To deal with Buckethead Zombies, use Plant Food on Peashooters or plant Potato Mines.
- If you somehow have 1000 coins, then consider using it on Plant Food if a zombie is getting through your defense.
Kiwibeast can be used, as every zombie in this level can eat it, thus growing it's power. Cold Snapdragon is another good option, as they can easily control any zombies this level spawns. Strawburst can easily take down zombies in this level, though it should be supported with Peashooters and Wall-nuts early to help take care of the early zombies. Cactus can be used to deal with graves and attack zombies at the same time.
