As Zyra

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.

Seeds grant vision to your team.

Zyra is a great ambusher - look for opportunities to set a trap of seeds in brush, then lure enemies in.

Against Zyra

Zyra's seeds can be destroyed by stepping on them. If she tries to grow them as you do, dodge back at the last moment.

Moving closer to Zyra can be a smart move if she places plants too far away from herself.

Plants take fixed damage from attacks and effects, similar to wards. They also expire quickly on their own.

Moving the fight to a different area will deprive Zyra of accumulated seeds.

// Lore

Born in an ancient, sorcerous catastrophe, Zyra is the wrath of nature given form—an alluring hybrid of plant and human, kindling new life with every step. She views the many mortals of Valoran as little more than prey for her seeded progeny, and thinks nothing of slaying them with flurries of deadly spines. Though her true purpose has not been revealed, Zyra wanders the world, indulging her most primal urges to colonize, and strangle all other life from it.

Notes

: The pattern/probability of Garden of Thorns spawning one seed or two.
Zyra tries to plant Seeds in brush and not on top of walls.
Zyra tries not to plant Seeds too close together and at different angles.
Zyra does not plant any Seeds if she is concealed within a brush (unless there is an enemy ward in it, in which case it takes her a little longer to plant the Seed) or when there is no room for additional ones.
Zyra does not plant any Seeds if she is within 1400 units of the coordinate points (400, 400) or (14000, 14000), which are roughly at the center of the fountains on Summoner's Rift.
These same coordinates may not hold as fountain positions on other maps (e.g. on the Arena map, the Magma Chamber area overlaps with the second exclusion radius) and may prompt the implementation of this behaviour to be changed in the future.
Zyra tries to plant Seeds close to an enemy near her.
: Zyra tries to plant Seeds under enemy structures only if she is in basic attack range of them.
: Zyra tries to plant Seeds on the other side of the wall she is facing and/or standing right next to.
: Zyra tries to plant Seeds in the direction she is facing and/or moving.
Zyra tries to plant Seeds near jungle path entrances.
: Zyra tries to plant Seeds behind herself when she is walking through the river and there are no jungle path entrances near her.
Zyra tries to plant Seeds between herself and the enemy champion she has vision of (or is heading towards her) in a 45º angle to the left or to the right depending on where on lane she is standing.
Zyra tries to plant Seeds against the inner walls of epic monster pits (Dragon, Rift Herald, Baron Nashor)
Zyra has a hidden passive that grants her 10% increased size for 33 seconds after having Leona applied to her.
