It's hard to come up with something that couldn't be done as well by a spell if she wanted to, yet isn't gamebreakingly powerful. Telekinesis? Plant Control? Maybe go back to the hair thing, take it to an extreme like that Marvel Comics character, Black Bolt's wife. (Medusa? Maybe...)

If one approach isn't working, try something completely different.

What does "Nanoha" mean in English? I've only ever seen the romaji so I'm not sure whether the kanji match, but "nanohana" is brassica napus - what we call "rapeseed" or "canola". The Japanese version of the language of flowers on this webpage says nanohana means "cheerful" - which certainly fits Nanoha - and that the flower is used in get-well arrangements.

So... a healing power, perhaps? (Or go with the actual effects of rapeseed and give her the ability to induce allergy attacks... "Fate, you can't be allergic to me! ... Can you?" )
Nanoha is written in Hiragana, so, no way to know for certain if she's named after the flower or not, but she probably is(BTW, na can mean canola, but also means "greens", "vegetables" - take that however you will)
