🪴 Description
Echeveria ‘Lola’ is a beautiful rosette-forming succulent known for its soft pastel colors.
The leaves are thick, spoon-shaped, and slightly ruffled, with a blue-grey to silvery lavender tone and delicate pink edges.
A fine powdery coating (farina) covers the leaves, giving a matte, elegant appearance and protecting the plant from sun and water loss.
It grows symmetrically into a medium-sized rosette and looks especially attractive under bright light.
