This semi-evergreen or deciduous shrub is capable to attain the height up to 3 m (seldom up to 5 m). It produces erect stem with grey-brownish bark, featuring the spots from tiny brown lenticels.
The plant's leaves are opposite arranged, growing in the shape from oval to lanceolate. They are from 2 to 6 cm in length and 0.5–1.5 cm wide. The blooming time for the Wild Privet takes place in the middle of the summer season.
It produces creamy-white blossoms in panicle; their length is about 3-6 cm. The blooms are distinguished by a strongly sweet scent; however a lot of humans consider it not so pleasing.
This summer –flowering plant is a pleasure to look at.
