It forms a sculpted rosette, up to 6 inches in diameter, with overlapping leaves that appear like a rosebud. Another element that adds to its beauty is the thick layer of epicuticular wax that is found on the leaves. . The leaves are a delicate shade of light purple or may appear to be a mix of gray and blue hues. 

Each year in the spring, the blooms from the Echeveria Lola shoot through. They are a bright shade of pink and yellow, and bell-shaped.
