Make beautiful garden containers that will last for years by creating containers made from hypertufa. Hypertufa is intended as a manufactured substitute for natural tufa, which is a slowly precipitated limestone rock; because it is very porous it is a very favorable vessel for plant growth. Containers made from hypertufa are wonderful for displaying rock-garden plants or succulents.
