Winter-mint is a Power Mint plant in Plants vs. Zombies 2. When planted, he chills all zombies on the board. He can also boost any Winter-mint Family plants on the lawn by increasing the effectiveness of their properties, such as damage and chill duration. 

Winter-mint Family plants include: 

• Cold Snapdragon
• Iceberg Lettuce
• Ice Bloom
• Missile Toe
• Snow Pea
• Winter Melon

Like other Power Mints, Winter-mint cannot be imitated or affected by other mints. He remains on the lawn for 10 seconds at level 1.

Winter-mint can be purchased from the store with 100 mints when he is available.

Origins

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

His name is a portmanteau of "winter," referring to his abilities and appearance, and "mint."

Strategies

Winter-Mint is heavily reliant on the few plants in his family, and Contain-mint generally does a better job at stalling zombies. Winter-mint has power synergies with Snow Pea and Winter Melon. While Snow Pea is boosted he will have his "chance to freeze" increase, which means he will have higher chances of freezing a zombie and especially a Gargantuar which would prevent them from moving. The increased damage boost + the higher chances of freezing means that zombies will have a very hard time advancing and thus makes it a very powerful combo. Using Winter-Mint with Winter Melon will increase his damage which will deal massive damage with the splash against groups of zombies as well as the chill duration of his melons. It should be worth noting that Cold Snapdragon has too little of a range to be viable, Iceberg Lettuce isn't very useful since zombies are already chilled and slowed and it doesn't have a very good recharge as well.

It is not recommended to bring Winter-mint into levels where you can't lose plants, as, like the other Power Mints, he will disappear after a while.
