||
| − | ==Strategies== |
||
| − | ===''Plants vs. Zombies''=== |
||
| − | Sunflower is the first, and the primary sun producer the player will receive. Having enough Sunflowers will allow the player to gather sufficient sun and as a result purchase additional offensive plants to fend off the horde more easily. Her ability to be upgraded into Twin Sunflower also gives Sunflower a niche in [[Survival Mode]], where planting spaces will be very limited and the player will need to generate as much as possible for every given tile. However, Sunflower will usually prove to be worse than [[Sun-shroom]] in [[Night]] and [[Fog (area)|Fog]] levels, as Sun-shroom is cheaper and can produce sun faster at early levels. |
||
| − | |||
| − | As a general rule, one column of Sunflower will be the minimum requirement for completing most typical levels, while two to three columns should allow purchasing of more expensive plants such as [[Gatling Pea]] and [[Melon-pult]], giving the player more freedom in tactical choices. In [[Pool]] and Fog levels, the pool lanes are ideal places for planting additional Sunflowers due to the relative lack of dangerous enemies assaulting them, but the player should also be cautious against ambushes when a flag comes. Sunflowers can either be planted on the leftmost columns for the maximum possible amount of protection or in front of offensive plants as a last line of defense, although the latter strategy may hinder plant placement as the level progresses and makes sun production somewhat inconsistent, as the Sunflowers are likely to get eaten. |
||
| − | |||
| − | If [[Catapult Zombie]]s are present, plant [[Umbrella Leaf|Umbrella Leaves]] nearby to protect Sunflowers from the basketballs. Sunflowers that are endangered by [[Digger Zombie]]s are to be typically protected by [[Pumpkin]]s. A player can also put her in the second column on that case and use defensive plants in the first column. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''Plants vs. Zombies 2''=== |
||
| − | Sunflower faces great competition for the role of primary sun production plant: Twin Sunflower has been made significantly easier to use, due to the removal of the upgrade plant system and the general ease of obtaining sun in this game as well as having a slightly cheaper sun price, while Sun-shroom costs less than Sunflower and can grow over time, outstripping Sunflower's production capability. This is shared with Primal Sunflower, as she can create 25 more sun than Sunflower, like Sun-shroom's last stage, at the expense of only 25 more sun. Moonflowers planted next to each other can give up to 100 sun each, despite their longer recharge. Of all the four sun producing plant, Sunflower also generates the second least amount of sun when fed with Plant Food, the lowest being Moonflower. Because of this, Sunflower is generally considered to be inferior to the other four sun creating plants, especially in the [[Endless Zone]]s. However, they are still useful for 'low-level' players, and some players may not have Sun-shroom or Twin Sunflower. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===''Plants vs. Zombies 2 (Chinese version)''=== |
||
| − | Sunflower is recommended to upgrade to Level 4 before using because it can instantly produce 150 sometimes, and you can remove it after use to get 75 sun, making it a better choice if you only have a low-level Primal Sunflower or Twin Sunflower. It is easy to upgrade to level 4 with using [[Plant Adventures]]. |

—Sunflower's Plants vs. Zombies Heroes description | ||
- For other uses, see Sunflower (disambiguation).
Sunflower is a recurring character within the Plants vs. Zombies franchise. She's a crucial part of the player's defense, producing extra Sun to plant more plants.
As of Plants vs. Zombies 3, Sunflower has appeared in every game in the Plants vs. Zombies franchise.
Origins
Helianthus annuus
Sunflower's design is based on the Helianthus annuus, also known as the common sunflower. The sun in her name refers to her ability to produce sun.
History
Plants vs. Zombies
- Main article: Sunflower (PvZ)
In the original Plants vs. Zombies game, as well as all Chinese spin-off games based on it, Sunflower is the first plant to be unlocked, given after beating Level 1-1. She can be considered one of the most important plants in the game, producing the sun for the player. She can be upgraded into Twin Sunflower, which produces twice as much sun than Sunflower.
At the end of the game, she sings the credits song Zombies on Your Lawn, voiced by Laura Shigihara.
Plants vs. Zombies Adventures (Archived content)
- Main article: Sunflower (PvZA)
Sunflower reappears in PopCap's ill-fated Facebook game Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, where her ability is left mostly unchanged, with the simple change of producing sun every 15 seconds rather than 24.
Twin Sunflower reappears in this game as its own separate plant and also has her own VIP variant, the Power Flower, which produces 3 sun rather than one.
Plants vs. Zombies 2
- Main article: Sunflower (PvZ2)
In Plants vs. Zombies 2, Sunflower is once again the second plant obtained, being unlocked after beating Player's House - Day 1, producing 50 sun rather than 25 due to a change in the sun system.
Sunflower is a member of the Enlighten-mint family, creating sun every 5 seconds and gaining a boost in system production depending on their level while her Plant Food effect has her create an instant burst of 150 sun. Twin Sunflower has also returned and like Plants vs. Zombies Adventures, is their own plant.
Garden Warfare series
- Main article: Sunflower (PvZ: GW)
Sunflower lays a prominent role in the Garden Warfare series of shooter games, where she is the medic of the plant team using her signature Heal Beam and Heal Flowers.
As with the other playable classes in the Garden Warfare series, she has numerous Character variants based on her, each having their own traits that differentiate them from the standard base character.

Her soulmates were members of the Pea line for a health boost, members of the Corn line for a damage boost, and members of the Stump and Tree line together for a defense boost.

Unlike in the Garden Warfare series, Sunflower no longer has any Character variants but instead has a large number of character upgrades, some of which grant abilities to Sunflower's primary weapon and abilities.
