Eremophila cuneifoliais naturally found in northern Western Australia (Eremaean province) growing in tall shrublands in the Pilbara, Central ranges, Little Sandy Desert and Carnarvon regions on stony hillsides and the adjoining plains or in saline plans.

It prefers an open to exposed sunny position and grows in well drained, poor to moderately fertile red sandy or clayey soils that are acidic to neutral and is drought tolerant but frost tender.

Pinyuru is grown for its drought hardiness, low bushy habit and its flowers. It is planted in small or arid gardens as a specimen along borders or on embankments. It is also grown in patio pots and planter boxes or used in roof gardens requiring little care. It is suitable for coastal and dry inland regions and establishes in 2-3 years but may be short lived.

Note:
It may be difficult to obtain outside its native region requiring a specialist nursery.
