Yes, I made the container using a basic hypertufa mix of perlite, peat moss, and portland cement. I have hypertufa containers all over my garden because I really like the way they blend in with all the natural rock we have. Plus, it's really fairly inexpensive, considering the cost of containers you could buy at a nursery. The form I used for that one was some kind of round plastic bin that Walmart sells in the summertime. They always have them in bright colors like orange or pink...I turned it upside down, taped the bottom to a board wrapped in plastic, then applied the hypertufa to the outside, because I wanted maximum planting space for that container. Early Spring is a good time to work on hypertufa containers, so that they are cured and ready to go for the growing season.

Here is another one, on the other side of the yard. I used the same form for this one, too.
