Balfour Aralia has a buttoned-up look—its round, leathery leaves grow tight along upright canes, giving it a tidy, top-heavy shape. Some varieties show light variegation around the leaf margins, almost like a collar. It’s slower to root and doesn’t like to be rushed, so give it time to settle in. Once it does, it holds its shape with very little fuss and adds a structured calm to just about any space.
