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 Ainu, an group indigenous to Hokkaido, harvested the bulbs. Starch was extracted and used to create a form of dumpling.[8]

The plant has reportedly become naturalized in the State of Maryland in the eastern United States.[2][9][10]
