For instance, if a fertilizer is 20-20-20, the first # is "nitrogen" which is for the flower. The second # is "phosphate" which is for the root?? Then is the third # "potash" for the ability to survive the winter??
Am I WAY OFF????

The first # Nitrogen if for the nice green color, and dense foliage. The 2nd # phosphate if for development of flowers, fruits and foliage. The 3rd # potash if for plant hardiness, and its ability to withstand stress.
