They don't have control over plant-life in general; just their plant. As for the extent of the control? They can clearly weaponize their vines somewhat as they can drag men into their flower, so... While I don't know that they can quick-grow thorns & such, we do know that they can close their petals to protect themselves and their men from the elements. That suggests the petals are rather tough, so it's possible they could be used for limited protection from weapons as well.
