🪴 Description

Echeveria ‘Lola’ is a perfectly symmetrical rosette-forming succulent admired for its soft pastel blue-grey leaves with a powdery coating (farina).
The leaves are spoon-shaped, slightly pointed, and often show a pink blush on the tips and margins, especially in cool weather or strong light.

Rosettes remain compact and elegant, making it one of the most popular ornamental Echeverias.
