I do Zyra mid sometimes but I wouldn't call her a burster. You can chuck out a lot of AoE damage pretty quickly, but imo it's just a bit too slow for her to be called a burst mage if you compare her to say... Brand, who can unload 769 + 195% AP damage into your face in less than a second without even needing his ult, with his passive adding 8% max health onto that afterwards.

Obviously though Zyra brings much more utility and I'm pretty sure she can outmatch Brand in overall damage if she's very good with all her AoE and plant damage. It's just not nearly as bursty.
