Fastflower

The Fastflower is a plant in Plants vs. Zombies: The Final Showdown that has a powerful effect for a relatively low cost, however it must be well-protected as it takes a very long time to recharge.
When planted, the Fastflower will reduce the recharge timers of every seed packet except itself by 10%, allowing you to plant them slightly faster. This effect stacks up to 50% with five Fastflowers, meaning a full column will completely halve the recharge of other plants. However, this comes at the cost of Fastflowers taking up a seed slot and taking an incredibly long time to set up, as they take two and a half minutes to recharge.
It is unlocked after beating Night 15 of Hidden Base.

==Origins==
Its name is a portmanteau of "fast", due to speeding up seed packet recharge timers, and "flower", the type of plant this plant is based on.
==Appearance==
A purple-petalled flower with a round face and an average length stalk. It bobs from side-to-side very rapidly and its face has numerous expressions that it rapidly switches between.

Fastflower
Each Fastflower speeds up recharge timers of plants!
Special: reduces recharge timers by 10%, up to 50%
Plant Food effect: recharges every seed packet unless it has an ultra slow recharge
"People expect me to be hyperactive like Coffee Bean. And while, yes, it's true that I am faster than most plants...it is physically impossible to be faster than Coffee Bean."
Cost: 100
Recharge: ultra slow
==Plant Food==
Instantly recharges every seed packet, except ones that have an Ultra Slow recharge such as itself. Essentially an improved version of spending Plant Food to instantly recharge a seed packet, especially if you have several instant-use plants like Cherry Bombs and Jalapenos.
==Strategies==
The Fastflower is probably most effective in longer modes. In Survival: Endless, if you can find room for them, they can allow use of instant-kills twice as frequently, which could be vital to defeating stronger zombies. If you couple this with Imitater, some plants can be used extremely frequently when normally their recharge timers would hold them back.
In regular levels, its low cost can make it viable, however there are few situations where you need to plant extremely fast, and you may find it difficult to set up five for maximum efficiency before the final flag. It's likely that by the time you set up all the Fastflowers, you won't have a need for the decreased recharge timers, unless your strategy focuses on lots of instant-use plants.
