Plants vs Zombies

Flora versus undead

Plants vs Zombies is a tower defense video game series where players position various plants to defend against waves of attacking zombies.

The original 2009 game spawned sequels, spin-offs, and merchandise.

The title functions as shorthand for the franchise and its distinctive cartoonish style: I've been playing Plants vs Zombies all weekend.
