Goodenia affinis is naturally found in south-west Western Australia growing in sand-plains amongst mallee or woodlands on the coast and inland. 

It prefers an open sunny position and grows in well-drained moderately fertile sandy to clay soils that are tending acidic and is drought and salt tolerant but frost tender. 

The Silver Goodenia is grown for its spreading habit and yellow flowers. It is planted in rockeries or along front borders or as a ground cover and may be used in arid gardens. It is suitable for coastal and inland regions establishing in one season and is planted in patio pots or planter boxes for spring colour. ID 3703
