Primal Sunflower


 * For the normal version, see Sunflower.

Primal Sunflower is the fourth plant obtained in Jurassic Marsh. It is the primal version of Sunflower; it produces 75 sun instead of 50, but also costs 75 sun to plant instead of 50.

Origins
Like its modern counterpart, Primal Sunflower's design is based on the Helianthus annuus, known as the common sunflower.

Almanac entry
Sun cost: 75

Primal Sunflowers pop out large suns instead of regular ones.

Sun Production: Large suns

Primal Sunflower is new to all this sun-giving business, so be patient with her. She's an early adopter of the all-you-can-stuff-yourself buffet style of sun production.

Plant Food
When given Plant Food, Primal Sunflower generates three big suns worth 225 sun in total. The amount of sun produced is identical to Sun-shroom's Plant Food ability.

Strategies
Primal Sunflower serves the middle ground between Sunflower and Twin Sunflower, functioning identically to a fully grown Sun-shroom both in sun production and Plant Food ability. Therefore, the choice between Primal Sunflower and Sun-shroom is entirely up to the player: The former has full production capability from the start but costs more to build, while the latter is more disposable and can be planted in larger amounts early on, but takes a long period of time to grow.

For Endless Zones, the player may bring Twin Sunflower along so that the sun production would be faster and would be more conserving to handle for the player to set their defenses up.
