Spending 100 mints

Appease-mint takes great umbrage at the notion that he might back down from a fight. "Yes, my name is 'Appease-mint,' but that has more to do with my affinity towards peas than any disinclination to stand up for my beliefs. Rescind your vile calumny this instant, lest I compose a blistering letter of outrage!"

**Appease-mint** is a Power Mint plant in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. When planted, he launches a volley of huge peas that break into smaller peas upon contact with a zombie. He can also boost any Appease-mint Family plants on the lawn by increasing the effectiveness of their properties, such as damage.

Appease-mint Family plants include:

* Bowling Bulb
* Dandelion
* Pea Pod
* Peashooter
* Primal Peashooter
* Red Stinger
* Repeater
* Rotobaga
* Starfruit
* Split Pea
* Threepeater
* Torchwood
* Tumbleweed

Like other Power Mints, Appease-mint cannot be imitated or affected by other mints. He remains on the lawn for 6 seconds.

Appease-mint can be purchased from the Store with 100 mints while he is available.

## Origins

He is based on the "*Lamiaceae,*" also known as mint.

His name is a portmanteau of "appeasement," meaning "the action or process of appeasing," "pea (as seen by his description, appearance, and ability)," and "mint."

## Upgrades

### Level upgrades

Note that Appease-mint's recharge is 30 seconds shorter during the Improve-mint event.

\*Appease-mint's Projectiles launch smaller projectiles when they hit a zombie for the first time.

## Strategies

Appease-mint is a good choice in peashooter-based strategies as his boosts can often clear out entire waves of zombies. In particular, Bowling Bulb is a good choice, since he will cause Bowling Bulb to prioritize recharging the orange bulb, while also boosting the damage he deals. Bowling Bulb also has relatively cheap splash damage with a quick recharge, so he is easy to amass. Threepeater is another viable alternative, as its boosted peas deal a good amount of damage.

However, Appease-mint has a lot of weaknesses. Do not use Appease-mint in Dark Ages as mushrooms mostly suit this no sun environment and Appease-mint's peas can be interrupted by Tombstones and deflected by Jester Zombie. In addition, Appease-mint shouldn't be used against Excavator Zombies as their shovels can block Appease-mint's shots and he can easily shovel up Appease-mint plants.

It is not recommended to bring Appease-mint to levels where you can't lose plants since he will disappear after a while.

## Trivia

* He appears to have something in his mouth, similar to a Peashooter before he shoots out a pea.
* Despite not being pea plants, Dandelion, Starfruit, Rotobaga, Red Stinger and Bowling Bulb are all in the Appease-mint family.
	+ Similarly, despite being pea-shooting plants, Snow Pea, Fire Peashooter, Shadow Peashooter, Goo Peashooter, Electric Peashooter, Pea-nut, Snap Pea and Sling Pea are not part of the Appease-mint family.
* His promotional artwork displayed Bowling Bulb as a member of his family when Bowling Bulb was actually part of the Enforce-mint family.
	+ This was changed in the 7.1.3 update.
	+ Torchwood was added to his family in the 7.6.1 update.
* He has the largest plant family, containing 12 plants.
* Despite being a Power Mint, in the almanac it is separated from the other mints by Shadow Peashooter, Goo Peashooter and Sling Pea.
