Plants vs Zombies 2 - Penny's Pursuit - Seedium Showcase - Spear-Mint - July 2024

Plant of the Week - Spear-Mint - was offered between July 7, 2024 through July 14, 2024.

Spear-Mint is a member of the Spear-Mint family - is a Mint.
Spear-Mint costs 0 Sun.
When planted, Spear-Mint drops five (5) Spikerocks on the right side of the lawn. (+1 Spikerock on levels 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10.)
These Spikerocks are level 5. (+1 level at Spearmint level 2, 4, 7, 9 and 10.)
Spear-mint will boost its family of plants for six (6) seconds. (+1 second per level.)
The Spear-mint family consists of:

• Bloomerang
• Bramble Bush
• Cactus
• Dartichoke
• Heath Seekers
• Homing Thistle
• Laser Bean
• Pokra
• Spikerock
• Spikeweed
• SeaFlora
• Bamboo Spartan

Commentary:
Five spikerocks at the beginning of a level? Use a plant food to replenish Spear-Mint and get a couple of columns to start a level.
Need some extra Sun? Dig up those Spikerocks and get some Sun. Although this gives diminishing returns as Spear-Mint levels up, it is still Sun.
There really isn't much to dislike about Spear-Mint. One doesn't even need Spear-Mint plants to get a good outcome from planting this.

Bottom Line:
If Spear-Mint is so good, why isn't it played more? It is because there are so many good plants and Mints now that a solid Mint can simply be overlooked.
