I've been growing this 'Jekyll' variety of Cross Vine for about 3 years and it has now covered the trellis on which I planted it. It is interesting that, prior to providing a support on which it could grow, it sat mostly dormant and stunted for about the first year. Once it had something to latch onto, it shot up and spread profusely.

I have been hoping it would produce some runners or seedlings that I could spread to other areas of my garden, but, thus far, I've not been able to propagate it in any way.
