Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Kalista win this lane — your level 2 E+W combo is one of the strongest early kill setups in the bot lane, and Jinx is immobile enough to die to a single root into rend.
Post-6, Lillia's R is your biggest threat because it sleeps both of you simultaneously and your plants do not act while you are asleep; respect the sleep angle and position to avoid being caught in the same AoE as Kalista.

Your best pattern is to place seeds proactively in the brush or along Jinx's likely walk-up path, then land E to root her into the plants — this forces Jinx to either take full plant damage or burn Flash.
Coordinate with Kalista so she has rend stacks ready before you root; a root with zero rend stacks wastes the kill window.

You should not roam early — your value is in the lane kill pressure you create with Kalista, and leaving him alone against Jinx + Lillia is dangerous since Lillia can then freely engage.
Consider a roam only after level 6 if the wave is shoved and Kalista has enough items to survive a short window alone, but this lane rewards staying and snowballing the 2v2.

Do not place seeds in predictable locations every time — Lillia and Jinx will learn your patterns and simply avoid them, negating your zone control.
Vary seed placement and never use E without a reasonable chance of landing it; a missed root on cooldown is a window for Lillia to walk up and R both of you without retaliation.
