Plant Family (PvZ2)

Plant Families is a feature in Plants vs. Zombies 2. Plants are divided into families which are mostly there to indicate which plant is influenced by which Power Mint. A colored circle with the appropriate family icon can be seen in the upper-left corner of seed packets.

Strategies
Whenever you plant a Power mint on the board, it'll do some damage or affect the zombies in some form, then boost the plants on the lawn that are members of the appropriate family. Boosting plants will increase their damage, toughness, sun-producing, and/or unique abilities. With Buffz & Bruisez on, you can use Power mints to boost the family that is currently having a Strong buff. Avoid using Power mints when their families are ineffective, since not even a Power Mint will make the plant do any damage to the zombies at all.

Trivia

 * There are some plants that could fit into other families, but are in other families based on how they are played:
 * Despite being a fire plant, Wasabi Whip is not in the Pepper-mint family.
 * Despite all being pea plants, Snow Pea, Pea-nut, Fire Peashooter, Electric Peashooter, Shadow Peashooter, Sling Pea and Goo Peashooter are not in the Appease-mint family.
 * Despite all being electrical plants, Magnet-shroom, Laser Bean and Infi-Nut are not in the Fila-mint family.
 * Despite both being explosive plants, Coconut Cannon and Dandelion are not in the Bombard-mint family.
 * Despite all not being pea plants, Red Stinger, Starfruit, Dandelion and Rotobaga are in the Appease-mint family since they fire single target projectiles.
 * Despite Hurrikale blows icy winds to slow down zombies, he is not in the Winter-mint Family.
 * Despite all being stalling plants, Iceberg Lettuce, Chili Bean, Garlic, Primal Peashooter and Apple Mortar are not in the Contain-mint family.
 * Despite all being lobbed-shot plants, Blooming Heart, Dusk Lobber, Winter Melon, Spore-Shroom, and Sap-fling are not in the Arma-mint family due to their various other properties.
 * Despite having an attack that pierces multiple zombies, Fume-shroom is not in the Spear-mint family.
 * Power Lily, Tile Turnip, Gold Bloom, Gold Leaf, Thyme Warp, Lily Pad, and Imitater are the only plants to not have their own plant families.
 * On Imitater's case, he takes the mint family of the plant he imitates.
