I'm playing Plants vs. Zombies on the iPhone and one of the achievements is "Flower Power: Keep 10 Twin Sunflowers Alive in a Single Level". I've tried on many different levels – standard, water, fog, rooftop – but the level doesn't seem to last long enough for me to even plant 10, let alone keep them alive. The cooldown for twin sunflowers is just too long! So what am I missing? What's a good way to get this achievement?

This website lists a bunch of strategies. Here is one example of a strategy:
Essentially, at higher levels, almost all strategies rely on having a constant supply of Cob Cannons to take out the Gargantuars with. The Winter Melons are used to slow down incoming enemies. The Gloom Shrooms in the pool are to damage pool-dwelling zombies and also attack zombies in the second and fifth rows. The Gloom Shrooms near the house are to kill Miner Zombies in the event that they spawn, and the Banana Leaves are to protect against Catapult and Bungie Zombies. The Ice-Shroom is placed in the pond to wake up with a Coffee Bean in the event that it needs to be used, Spikerock is to protect against vehicles and zombies that get too close to the Cob Cannons, and the Twin Sunflower to generate sun.
For the iPhone version, I recommend using Marigolds on Lvl 1.1 (only the base zombie)
Basically you want to set up 3 lanes of marigolds with a single garlic at the front to divert the zombie into the other 2 lanes.
I hope this unicode art makes sense

Legend:
- S = Sunflower/TwinSunflower
- M = Marigold
- P = Peashooter
- G = Garlic
- X = Gold Magnet shrooms
- T = Tallnuts
- W = Spikeweeds
The idea is to slow down how you kill the zombies. So as quickly as possibly, place the garlics to direct the zombies into the two lanes that are protected. After the initial setup, it's just a matter of placing the marigolds as quickly as possibly.
EDIT: I should have said that you place the gold magnet shrooms so that you get automatic coin collection; having two means less chance of a miss.

The key is that speed of zombie spawning is somewhat controlled by how fast you kill them, so try to make it as slow as possible. Potato mines are great early on. Snow peas are also good at doing slow damage. And of course you can just throw up walls for them to slowly eat through. Buy yourself enough time and you should have no problem getting enough sunflowers going.
