Heath Seeker is a member of the Spear-Mint family.
Heath Seeker costs 125 Sun. (-25 Sun at levels 2, 6 and 9.)
When planted, Heath Seeker will explode and fire up to nine (9) piercing darts at zombies.
Each dart will do 560 damage to a zombie. (+180 damage at levels 3, 7 and +170 damage at level 9.)
Each dart will pierce up to three (3) times. (+1 zombie at levels 5 and 10)
When hit by a pierced dart, zombies will take 190 damage. (+50 damage at level 2, +100 at levels 4 and 6, +120 at level 8.)

The Good:
An instant plant which can do a lot of damage.
Very reasonable cost.
Darts can seek out zombies across the entire lawn.

The Bad:
Like all instant plants, the recharge time can be a bit longer than you'd like.
Has no plant food effect.
Chance a specific zombie may be untouched by the darts.

Commentary:
Heath Seeker is Homing Thistle after being given plant food.

Bottom Line:
Heath Seeker is an amazing plant. It's also under-utilized because of the Mint family it is in and because of its relative unreliability in not being able to target a specific zombie.
