Echeveria Lola
Echeveria 'Lola' is a stunning succulent that is perfect for growing in Australian conditions. This plant is a hybrid of Echeveria 'Tippy' and Echeveria lilacina and was cultivated by the renowned breeder, Dick Wright, in 1980. Lola can grow up to 6 cm in diameter, producing rosettes of green leaves that are coated with a delicate wax layer and have a subtle blush of pink and violet.
In spring, Echeveria 'Lola' produces beautiful yellow or coral pink bell-shaped flowers that appear on short stems. The foliage of this plant is particularly striking due to its thick layer of epicuticular wax or farina, giving it a marble-like or alabaster appearance. The leaves are an attractive silvery-gray-pale-green color with a pinkish blush, making it a popular choice for those looking to add a touch of elegance to their gardens or indoor spaces.
Echeveria 'Lola' is relatively easy to grow and care for. To ensure success, it is essential to be careful never to let water sit in the rosette as it can cause rot or fungal diseases that will kill the plant. Dead leaves should be removed from the bottom of the plant as it grows, as these provide a haven for pests, and Echeverias are susceptible to mealy bugs. Careful watering habits and plenty of light will also help ensure success.
Lola does well in cool to average temperatures, making it perfect for growing in many parts of Australia. It tolerates full sun or partial shade, and if kept indoors, it does best with bright light or under indoor grow lights. The plant is drought-tolerant and requires watering only when the soil is completely dry. Repotting once every year or two in the springtime with fresh soil and nutrients will help ensure healthy growth.
In summary, Echeveria 'Lola' is a striking succulent that is perfect for adding elegance to any garden or indoor space in Australia. With its beautiful foliage, easy care requirements, and ability to tolerate a wide range of conditions, it is a popular choice for both novice and experienced gardeners alike.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
