Abstract Clonal plants benefit from the ability to translocate resources among interconnected ramets colonize stress habitats. Despite fact that physiological integration of clones may influence their general performance and competitiveness, we still lack an understanding how alters compete with neighbours. In a greenhouse experiment, investigated clonal perennial herbaceous Cynodon dactylon , which originated two flooding ecotypes, influenced growth, functional traits, biomass allocation relative competitiveness intraspecific interspecific We also used reciprocal transplant experiment assess plasticity adaptation test ‘home‐field’ advantage on The findings showed that, for low‐stress significantly enhanced specific root length, storage, root‐shoot ratio, competitive neighbours, but it had little effect overall neighbours across ecotypes. Interestingly, such encouragement helped expand, suggesting physiologically independent can one another. home‐field advantages were demonstrated by home site more than away site. This study provides novel evidence facilitation between has implications environments where both high levels clonality are expected occur.
