Hypertufa Garden Containers and Ornaments
Hypertufa is man-made rock glued together with Portland cement to form beautiful garden containers, ornaments, pots, bird baths, and more.
Compared to terra cotta or concrete, Hypertufa is light and can stand very bad winters, at least down to -20 degrees fahrenheit (-30 °C).
Hypertufa was first used in Alpine gardens as an alternative to increasingly rare antique animal watering troughs.
