Cardiocrinum cordatum is a Northeast Asian species of plants in the lily family. It is native to Japan and to certain Russian islands in the Sea of Okhotsk (Sakhalin, Kuril Islands).[2][3][4][5]

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]
