Pros

Cons
- Exposure risk — 300 requires aggressive front-plant protection to prevent losing its sun production pipeline.
- High-value target — Zombie pathing may prioritize it, requiring active defensive management.
- Combat secondary — 20 is a bonus; never the primary damage source in the lane.

Plant Sunweed in one of the rear two columns (7 or 8) at the very start of the level — the earlier it goes in, the more sun it produces across the full wave sequence.

Never let Sunweed be the closest plant to an approaching zombie — always maintain at least two occupied columns between it and the zombie front.

The sun Sunweed produces should fund your next two to three most expensive plant purchases; plan your upgrade path around its expected income.
