Easy propagated cutting 6" long strip lower 3-4" leaves and just stick in ground. don't normally see its flowers due to use as formal hedging.

Privet honey is alleged to be an "acquired taste" but if you store it for a year or so, it mellows and is reported to be delicious.
I have privet near me and I'm hoping the bees haven't overloaded on it to make the crop an "acquired taste"
