Fact #1: Buttonbush is related to plants in the coffee family, so it has distant plant cousins like the coffee plant and the cinchona tree, which is used to make medicine called “quinine”.
Fact #2: Buttonbush gets its name because its flowers look like little white “buttons” or pin cushions.
Fact #3: Buttonbush contains natural chemicals that can be toxic if eaten, and consuming parts of the plant may cause sickness such as vomiting or other serious reactions. It should not be eaten.
