Tips for Playing as Zyra with Zilean
Seeds grant vision to your team.
Placing a seed in your spell's path after you have cast it gives you the best chance of having a seed in the proper spot.
Zyra is a great ambusher - look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.
Advice to Understand How Zilean Will Play
Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Zilean.

Zilean has a lower difficulty than Zyra. That means you don't need to be careful when arranging Zilean allies to play with, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to work well with you.
When playing on the same side, Zyra players will likely witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to deal magical damage. Together, these champs are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Although, by bringing Zyra and Zilean together, you may not be giving your other allies enough AD. Plan to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this relative gap in this pairing's playstyle.
Regardless of your Zilean ally's skill level, you should focus on increasing your income, outlasting your enemies, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
