Nah, I wouldn't say that the Sunflowers would be the least played out of every class out there. However, there are in fact a Sunflower that nobody ever uses that much which would be just the Metal Petal. Personally, I see myself in 19/20 games the only person that uses the Metal Petal...I mean, if you like supporting a lot why not Metal Petal right?

Here's a list on what characters that barely of people play:

• Astronaut
• Toxic Chomper
• Metal Petal
• Mechanic

Sure you'll meet some of these characters from time to time, but eventually, they'll switch to one that many people are using. Ex: Marine Biologist, Plumber, or Armor Chomper.

Note: Anything that I use in the examples is not or will never be a character that is better then most characters in the game.

In my experience, the sunflower is the least used in the games I've played. Nobody really wants to heal unless it's part of their level up requirements. Every other plant has overly useful offensive alternatives, most of which are one use kills. 

Peashooter has the chili bomb.

Cactus has the potato mines and the drone with corn strike.

Chomper has the spikeweeds and goop.

All of those are extremely useful defensively to instantly stop a zombie. The dark flower pot that the sunflower has is ok, but it's just as useless as any potted plant for the most part. The heal flower pot is also nice, but it doesn't stop zombies. I would personally rather use the chomper 10 times out of 10 over the sunflower.

Every single one of those plants you listed are actually some of the most useful for their class.

- Astronaut has arguably one of the best ranged attacks for zombies... only negated by the poor zoom level for what is generally a close quarter class. It may actually have the most consistently accurate shot.

- Metal Petal is probably the highest raw damage per shot aside from the one with the charged shot. I see them frequently, when I do see the rare Sunflower. They also have the most challenges specific to them out of all the Sunflowers.

- Mechanic is the only Engineer without splash damage, but the most useful Engineer against teams using drones.

- Toxic Chomper is the one Chomper with the most character specific challenges for the Chompers and because of that, I see them frequently.
