''Acorus gramineus'' spreads aggressively by [[rhizome]], creating a nearly-seamless groundcover where conditions are favorable, and it is frequently used around the edges of ponds and water gardens <ref>[http://www.floridata.com/ref/A/acor_gra.cfm ''Acorus gramineus'']</ref> , as well as submerged in freshwater aquaria. It can be propagated by dividing the fleshy underwater rhizome and planting the base in shallow water until the cutting strengthens.
