Appease-mint
“ | ” | |
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, while boosting plants of his family. Appease-mint Family plants include:
- Bowling Bulb
- Dandelion
- Pea Pod
- Pea Vine
- Peashooter
- Primal Peashooter
- Red Stinger
- Repeater
- Rotobaga
- Split Pea
- Starfruit
- Threepeater
- Torchwood
- Tumbleweed
- Mega Gatling Pea
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; as well as the pea plant (Pisum sativum).
His name is a portmanteau of "appeasement," meaning "the action or process of appeasing," "pea" (as seen by his appearance and ability), and "mint."
Appease-mint's name could also be a play on the phrase "A Pease," an old term that refers to more than one pea.

Strategies
Appease-mint is a good choice should you make prolific use of associated plants, as the 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 it deals. Bowling Bulb also has relatively cheap splash damage with a quick recharge, so it is easy to amass. Threepeater is another viable alternative, as its boosted peas deal a good amount of damage and it has good coverage.
However, Appease-mint has a lot of weaknesses, simply due to the problems faced by its family at this point, as most straight-shooters are simply unusable, and the very few that work tend to rely heavily on brute force, solving nothing and instead compounding existing issues. Do not use Appease-mint in Dark Ages, as Ail-Mint's family consists of mushrooms that suit better and Appease-mint's peas can be stopped by tombstones and deflected by Jester Zombie. In addition, Appease-mint shouldn't be used against Excavator Zombies since he just blocks their projectiles, making them useless.
It is not recommended to bring Appease-mint to levels where you can't lose plants since he will disappear after a while, which counts as losing a plant.

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, Tumbleweed, Red Stinger, Torchwood 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, when Bowling Bulb became part of his family.
- He has the largest plant family, containing 15 plants.
- Torchwood was added to his family in the 7.6.1 update, most likely because of his relation to peashooting plants. His boost was also changed to increase the damage of his newly-added abilities instead of his toughness.
- He is the only mint that rarely boosts his family's Plant Food effect.
- Despite being a Power Mint, in the Almanac, he was separated from the other mints by Shadow Peashooter, Goo Peashooter, and Sling Pea.
- This was fixed in the 8.6.1 update.
- When boosted by a Appease-mint, Red Stinger will change to the starting appearance, but cannot actually gain any additional health.
