Classic Cultivar Guide
Echeveria 'Lola' — Translucent Pearlescent Rosette
Echeveria 'Lola' is a hybrid prized for its perfectly symmetrical, translucent pink-lavender rosette — a collector staple that holds its neat form with minimal grooming. SouthQuest Farm grows comparable pearlescent Echeveria hybrids in Yunnan, China.
About This Cultivar
'Lola' is a hybrid between E. lilacina and E. tippy, combining lilacina's soft pastel colouring with a tighter, more symmetrical rosette form. Its translucent, slightly waxy leaves shift between pale lavender and dusty pink depending on light exposure.
Care Basics
- Light: Bright, direct-to-indirect light; holds its form well across a range of conditions
- Water: Soak-and-dry; relatively slow-growing, so less frequent watering than fast-offsetting Echeveria
- Propagation: Leaf-pull and offsets, though slower to establish than many cultivars
- Common issue: Minimal — Lola is considered one of the more forgiving named Echeveria cultivars
💡 Sourcing note: 'Lola' itself is not in our current 16-variety catalogue, but our pearlescent 'Opalina' shares a similarly soft, translucent finish. Share a reference photo and we'll confirm the closest match.
