Know before you buy
No, this urn does not feature drainage holes. If you plan to plant directly into the container, you may want to drill holes in the bottom or use a liner to prevent water from pooling.
While cast aluminum is lighter than iron or stone, it offers a substantial presence. If you live in a particularly windy area, we recommend adding a layer of gravel or heavy stones at the base to increase stability.
To keep the finish looking its best, simply wipe the urn down with a damp cloth and mild soap as needed. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, which can strip the decorative whitewash.
While the urn is crafted from durable cast aluminum, it is not explicitly rated for extreme weather or freeze-thaw cycles. It is best to bring the urn into a shed or garage during harsh winter conditions to preserve the integrity of the finish.
With a width of 18 inches and a height of 15 inches, this urn is ideal for medium-sized arrangements. It works beautifully for cascading flowers, ornamental grasses, or a small topiary.
