With many areas across the UK currently subject to a hosepipe ban, it can be a sorry sight seeing much-loved flowers and plants wilting in the heat. While the use of hosepipes and sprinklers is not permitted during a hosepipe ban, a watering can is still allowed to be filled from a tap, allowing keen gardeners to tend to greenery while the ban is in place.
Amazon's 10L Watering Can a Bestseller
Those who have yet to invest in a decent option may wish to consider a 10L buy from Amazon that features a generous capacity alongside a lightweight design and a sturdy handle. The watering can in question is the Hardy's £19.99 10L Green Rose Watering Can, which also comes in red, priced at £18.99. Those seeking a smaller option may wish to consider the brand's 5,6 or 7L designs, with prices starting from £12.99.
The watering can is an Amazon bestseller, as listed by the online marketplace. It has amassed an impressive overall review score of 4.4 out of five stars from almost 900 reviews. The item's long spout makes it ideal for reaching hanging plants, while the wraparound handle and long spout help to ensure easy and precise watering. For more delicate plants, the detachable rose head offers a gentle yet even spray.
Customer Praise
Buyers of the Hardy's Watering Can have awarded the item plenty of praise on Amazon, hailing it 'ideal during a hosepipe ban.' One raved: "Good quality. Lightweight and easy to use." Another said: "10 litres. Wowza! Unreal. The best watering can I have ever handled." A third also commented: "Keeping the flowers alive during the hosepipe ban.

We managed to partially remove the dent, but it's still value for money." Despite this, others were pleased with their purchase, with a further review simply reading: "Good quality, perfect water flow."
