Is Caulipower as good as the hype?

Since Penny's Pursuit extra tough zombies are introduced, I want to get more one-shot-killer plants. And Caulipower immediately comes to mind.

I checked the fandom site, and saw that it has a very slow recharge, and I'm not sure what is with the "zombie healing" stats. So is it actually good in practice? Players who don't have it only tried it in its level 1 and mostly in the conveyor belt levels.

I also consider Witch Hazel. For now I'm only planning to get one of them.

What do you suggest?

Thank you.

@ForestOutlook It's my understanding that "Zombie Healing" refers to the health the zombie will have once it turns to the light. Say if a gar starts with 1800 health as a meanie, then with a 'healing' of 125%, it will have 2225 health when it starts to fight for you. This health will dissipate as it gets gnawed on by the zombies it fights. I guess healing is a reasonable word because technically when a zombie dies, its health goes to zero. Now who wants to get into a Big Bang Theory type of discussion about whether a zombie can actually be killed?

Should plants that die/get eaten by zombies turn into zombie plants?
Also, if you use the vampire costume for Repeater, do the zombies become vampires, zombie vampires or vampire zombies??

@HypnoDjurre I'm going to have to go with zombie vampire mainly because the contracted form "Zompire" sounds cooler and more menacing than "Vambie".

Thanks for the input everyone.
I know I have enough seeds to get it to mastery, lol. Kinda not interested to level it up for now.
(I also voted for Zompire, or Zompyre, or how about PyreZom?)

Around the time the endless Arena streak was changed into Seasons. I was lucky to find out about the x10 multiplier and reached it once just in time before Seasons arrived, haha.

Is it because you really fancy plants with weird eyes, haha. Hopefully sooner than next year, but at least you can collect those seed packets already 😁

@ForestOutlook I am pretty sure i do fancy plants with weird eyes xDD but maybe cause caulipower mirrors the look on my face most days 😛
