May be a whole lot easier to drill through the side near the bottom.

I have a concrete planter (round cup-shaped top, stem, square base.
Urn-like, I guess), that doesn't have a drain hole. Is it possible or
feasible to drill a drain hole from the bottom of the "cup" through the
stem, and out the bottom of the base? It might be 7" or so. Will it crack
the concrete? Any other ideas? Thanks!

P.S. We really need some type of drainage, as the flowers are stunted and

a
heavy rain just filled the bowl!

Possible yes, difficult probably.

7 inches is a long way to go. My suggestion is to get a 1/4 masonary bit
and
turn the urn over and start in drilling, without a hammer drill. See how
it goes. This will be a slow process. Once you have reached the end of
the
bit it will be time to look for a longer one. You will probably need to
find a real supply store as the box stores may not have bits as long as
you
need. You might try Harbor Freight. I would not put much bigger than 1/4
in
in the urn.
