This B&Q galvanised flower bucket in silver is ideal for florists and home decorators looking for a classic and sturdy container for floral arrangements. Its primary benefit is its decorative appeal and versatile use for both display and planting. A key consideration is that it may not be completely watertight, requiring a plastic liner for direct use with water. It features ear handles for easy transport and a traditional aesthetic, with dimensions of 45 cm height, 14 cm base diameter, and 24 cm top diameter.
