Card description
Not to brag, but I'm pretty much your basic franchise-founding superstar.

With
Sunflower is perhaps one of the most basic, yet useful Teammate that the plant hero can play at the start of the game. Having even the slightest bit of sun advantage early on can dictate the pace of the entire match, as it will allow the plant to play higher-cost cards much earlier and force the zombie to play more defensively. Sunflower's value gradually diminishes as the game progresses however, when both players have enough sun to play multiple cards and their hands run dry.

Because of Sunflower's value in the early game, most zombie players will try to take it down at first sight. These are the potential threats usually used by zombie heroes to fight Sunflower, which the plant hero should be aware of when playing Sunflower:
 * Several 2-brain Gravestone zombies such as Sumo Wrestler, Pied Piper and Conga Zombie
 * Plant killing tricks such as Bungee Plumber, Rolling Stone and Nibble.
 * Zombie moving effects such as Dog Walker, Line Dancing Zombie and Smoke Bomb.

If stat boosters are available, the player can opt to boost Sunflower to improve her chance of survival.

Counters
Early on, the zombie hero should use everything at their disposal to try containing the Sunflower situation. When facing a Solar hero, it is usually better to save brains for a trick rather than spending everything on zombies, or play a Dog Walker to catch any stray Sunflower.

Trivia

 * Its description references how it is one of the mascots of the Plants vs. Zombies series.
 * The sound heard when it makes sun is the same as its Plant Food sound effect from Plants vs. Zombies 2.
 * Its appearance resembles more of its appearance in the original Plants vs. Zombies than in Plants vs. Zombies 2.
 * In the first comic strip in When Fungi Attack, you can see Sunflower with its Plants vs. Zombies 2 appearance.
