Who Wins

Pre-6, you are losing this lane: Zyra out-ranges your Q poke, her plants punish you for standing in lane to heal, and Jinx's Chompers trap you if you step forward to use E.
Post-6, your R fundamentally changes the equation by negating Jinx's R kill-threat on your ADC, but Zyra's R can still zone you out of healing range so you must respect her ultimate timing.

Use your Q on Zyra's plants to deny their damage and heal Ashe simultaneously, but only step into E range when Zyra's E is visibly on cooldown — a silenced Zyra cannot place seeds or root, which is your window to trade.
Avoid standing between Jinx and Ashe during trades because Jinx's AoE from Fishbones will hit both of you and Zyra's plants will shred you.

You should not roam in this matchup because Ashe has no escape and leaving her alone against Jinx and Zyra is a near-certain death.
Stay in lane, manage your mana carefully by not over-healing through plant chip damage, and only consider a roam post-6 if Ashe is full HP, the wave is pushed, and you can R back instantly if needed.

Do not stand in Zyra's plant zones to heal Ashe — you will take more damage than you heal and burn your own HP, making you a liability rather than a resource.
Never let yourself get rooted by Zyra's E while Jinx has Chompers placed nearby, as that combination will kill you before Ashe can slow either enemy.
