For those enticed by this article, I recommend the wonderful science fiction book, "Semiosis" by Sue Burke. Plant wars, competition, and cooperation are central to the plot.

The foremost chapter is especially good at exploring these themes, which I believe is available elsewhere as a short story. Its inspiration, an anecdote of Burke's where her houseplants had been found to attack and starve each other, shines through quite clearly: https://www.shelf-awareness.com/readers-issue.html?issue=686...

Mentioning it in this context probably ruins part of the suspense, but this all reminds me of this short story: http://compellingsciencefiction.com/stories/seedsofwar.html
