The power of the plants is in the way their poison breath works. A single breath hits each character multiple times, and keeps them from fighting back until all the attacks have run out. It does this whether you're up close or far away.
The effect is very similar to what happens when you hit an enemy with a Flamedrop spell.
Up close your mid-level characters get creamed as soon as the plant gets a chance to breathe; however, if you have a spellcaster with level 5 sun spells you can learn Burning Haze. Burning Haze is similar to Flamedrop but it covers a larger area and does more damage. After casting it, I like to watch the overgrown weeds writhe in agony while I yell things like "This is payback for the four parties you wiped out you insufferable $%#@!!"
Iceballs also seem to work well on the things, but they aren't as much fun.
