Because of its large, showy flowers, Cardiocrinum cordatum is sometimes cultivated as an ornamental in regions outside its native range, though not as frequently as the related C. giganteum.[6][7]
The plant has reportedly become naturalized in the State of Maryland in the eastern United States.[2][8][9]
