Shineflower

Shineflower is very similar to Sun Bean, only this time she'll constantly plague zombies! Meaning zombies who will take damage will drop small sun. Shineflower is unlocked in 6-3 in PvZ: TMT.
==Overview==
Shineflower will sparkle at zombies from afar, plaguing them so that they drop sun when damaged. Note that the plague only lasts for 9 seconds until Shineflower plagues that zombie again. When Shineflower sparkles a zombie, the amount of sun the zombie can drop increases by 0.4 for every damage per shot the zombie receives. However, the sun is only dropped in multiplies of 5, or small sun, while the amount of sun remaining will be counted for the next time the zombie is damaged. A zombie which has eaten the bean will glow light yellow and white to indicate that he is affected, releasing more sun as more damage is inflicted.
tl;dr: Zombies will drop 0.4 more sun for every damage per shot that zombie will take, these sun will be dropped in multiples of 5, or small sun.
Shineflower's plant food plagues all zombies on screen for 27 seconds.
==Strategy==
Similarly to Sun Bean, Shineflower is much more effective against high-health zombies due to how much damage they can take. Only this time you need to make sure Shineflower will constantly plague that zombie since the plague only lasts for 9 seconds, so Shineflower isn't that reliable in groups of zombies. Since she works like Sun Bean, using plants with fast attack rates like Lava Guava's lava puddle or Bonk Choy's quick fists will give lots of sun quickly. She is cheap, so she can be used early game, but make sure you have a cheap attacker as well like Peashooter, Cabbage Pult, or even instants like Potato Mine could work. It's the main difference between Sun Bean and Shineflower is that Shineflower is constant, while Sun Bean is single-use. 
(basically, Sun Bean virgin, Shineflower gigachad)
Shineflower doesn't really counter zombies due to the fact that she deals no damage and isn't really defensive. She only really "counters" high health zombies. (obviously she doesn't counter them but she's more effective against them)
Clearly Shineflower's main weakness is the fact that she deals a whopping 0 damage. But of course, Shineflower's merely a support plant, mainly for getting lots of sun. Another main weakness is that she requires a plant that deals damage for her to be actually helpful. Although having a cheap cost, she's recommended mostly mid-game if your high-damage dealer costs 200+ since you usually want to have a whole row of these to get maximum sun production. If you have early-game plants like Phat Beet or Bloomerang, than Sun Bean is more recommended as those plants don't deal much damage and isn't a great investment to have Shineflower with low-damage plants, why not just use another sun producing plant like Solar Tomato or Primal Sunflower in that case.
