A floral display device includes a tapered foam body and a ballast embedded within the foam body. The ballast is positioned near a lower portion of the foam body and has a density which is substantially greater than that of the foam body. In this way, the center of gravity of the device is lower than without the ballast and the total mass is greater, rendering the device less likely to tip over. In one embodiment, the ballast is molded within a closed interior chamber of the foam body. In another embodiment, the ballast is provided in a recess in the underside of the foam body. In one form, the invention comprises a foam flowerpot which is hollow and defines an open interior region for receiving dirt, plants, etc. In another form, the invention comprises a solid floral arrangement base for receiving plant stems and flower stems to be inserted therein and has an external shape similar to that of a flowerpot, but is solid, not hollow.
