My golden privet shrub is in full bloom. The bees love the sweet nectar. It smells really good in the yard. Eventually I want to add more. I have only one for now.
There are several varieties of this shrub and mine is called a Vicary. Some bloom, others do not. Some have darker leaves. I like the yellow-green on this one.
It is perennial, the leaves returns each spring and requires very little maintenance as well. Just a little shaping and trimming is needed each year, as you prefer.
Enjoying the blooms in spite of the extreme heat.
Photo is mine.

That's a beautiful shrub. We are getting nasty thunderstorms up here. Our weather will be cooling down this weekend; so yours should be too.
