" produces a pod of round pea-like seeds, ripe in the fall. Keep dry for the winter, sow outdoors in early March at a soil temperature of 70F (so depending on your climate). Or, sow indoors in Sept or Oct to have seedlings ready to place outside in their pots in Spring in colder areas. The seeds should take 4-5 months to germinate. Grow them on in the same container ( sow 3 seeds to a 4-inch pot) in sunny conditions until they go dormant again in the fall. Lift the new tubers and separate them. They should produce flowers in year 3 if fed and treated properly."

OH WOW!!! It's even a vine with evergreen foliage to zone 6a! NICE very NICE! All I could find was that Tangerine is an improved selection of the southeast native vine, but I see no reference to it being a hybrid. An improved natural selection doesn't necessarily mean the color will come back true though unless it is pretty stable. Still I would think the color wouldn't be too much off...maybe not as vivid.

Seed Collecting: Let the seed pods dry out a bit on the plant. Then you can open them to collect the seeds. Hope this helps. Grow from a Seed Step 1 Prepare your seeds. Purchase a packet of Carolina jessamine seeds from your local nursery. Soak them in water overnight. Step 2 Plant your seeds in individual cups filled with garden soil. Be sure to plant the seeds in late winter if you want to transplant to your garden in the spring. Make sure there are holes in the bottom of the cups for water drainage. Step 3 Water regularly and make sure they get plenty of sunlight. Put them in a windowsill for excellent light exposure. Step 4 Acclimate your plants to the outdoors before you transplant them into your garden. Set them outdoors for a few hours everyday, increasing the time each day for a week. Step 5 Transplant to your yard when the vines reach 6 to 8 inches in length. Plant Your Carolina Jessamine Step 1 Purchase your Carolina jessamine from a local nursery if you did not grow one from seed. Look for one that has healthy green leaves and is already blooming. If you cannot find one at a local nursery, look for an online nursery that will ship one to you. Step 2 Choose where to put your vine. Full sun is best, although it will bloom in the shade as well. Carolina jessamine is a climbing vine, so plant it next to a fence, trellis, arbor or even a mailbox. You also can use it as ground cover. Step 3 Plant your Carolina jessamine by digging a hole 6 to 8 inches deep depending on the size of your vine. Fill the hole with garden soil and be sure that the roots are completely covered.

I use thin bamboo stakes available at garden centers. I just cut mine in half and make a tepee out of them. Attach them at the top with a rubber band or twist tie. You can keep wrapping the vine around it and when you plant it they will just slide off.
