Butcher’s broom, also known as knee holly and Jew’s myrtle, is a broadleaf evergreen shrub original to Asia, Africa and Europe. A cousin to asparagus, the plant is noted for its resilience because it can thrive in deep shade in the woods or tolerate harsh conditions encountered along coastal cliffs.
The rhizome of the plant which is lifted in the fall is dried and chopped and made into tea, tincture or extract.B
