This habitat is semi-arid to temperate regions in well drained soils. Crotalaria cunninghamiiblooms from January to April. It is pollinated by large bees and by honeyeaters（吸蜜鸟）.

Crotalaria cunninghamii has some economic purposes and is a good source of fibre（纤维） used for weaving（纺织）. Crotalaria cunninghamii is also a popular ornamental flower because of its unique flower shape. It was featured as the in-season flower of the month by the Australian Botanic Gardens and Park Authority in March 2019
