Primal Sunflower is a colossal super-rare plant card in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes and a member of the Solar class. It costs 1 to play and has 2/1.

It does not have any traits, and its ability gives the plant hero +1 at the start of every turn, starting from the next turn after it is played. This ability stacks with each Primal Sunflower on the field and persists until all Primal Sunflowers are removed from the field.

Origins

It is based on the plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2 with the same name and appearance, except for the fact that they don't smile and they don't have the 2 arm like leaves.

Its description is a reference to how Sunflowers are not offensive plants in most games.

Strategies

With

If protected well, Primal Sunflower could prove to be one of the best 1 cards in the Solar class.

Just like Sunflower, Primal Sunflower is a cheap sun-producing plant that will give you an advantage in your supply of sun the following turn. However, unlike Sunflower, Primal Sunflower has 2, giving it offensive properties as well. This means that it will give you additional sun the next turn and do damage to your opponent if it survives the current turn.

However, since sun-producing plants are prioritized due to their threatening ability, the chances of Primal Sunflower surviving after turn 2 are very low, unless your opponent is setting something up themselves and chose to ignore it. Another unfortunate thing is that Primal Sunflower does not have the Team-Up trait, so it can be difficult to protect. Wall-Knight has an assortment of more durable Team-Up plants in the Guardian Class, but the other classes will often find the job much harder.

Chompzilla and Wall-Knight can also remedy its lack of Team-Up via stat-boosting cards such as Lily of the Valley and Steel Magnolia. As Rose, she can Bounce zombies out of the way or Freeze zombies to preserve it. And finally, Solar Flare can use it to ramp up to a Pineclone play with many weak plants and Primal Sunflower itself being turned into Pineclones. Primal Sunflower also fits in nicely with a flower deck, since it can be used as cheap bait for Briar Rose or heal you if Power Flower is on the field.

Against

Primal Sunflower is a nuisance in the early game. Just like any other sun-producing plant, it can put your opponent at a huge advantage the following turn, and it has some base strength that lets it fight back so you can't really ignore it forever. Fortunately, Primal Sunflower's lack of Team-Up gives it fewer options to defend itself (which still depends on the hero in question). And with a measly 1 health, taking out Primal Sunflower itself is never an issue.

Should Briar Rose be on the field to punish any attempts to destroy Primal Sunflower, you should play an expendable zombie (preferably one that your opponent can't just get around). As with Sunflower, you can use a cheap trick like Rolling Stone or Nibble if she isn't boosted, since while she can do some damage with a decent boost, these are usually spent on more powerful plants that can make an impact.
