very short yellow ground cover

 Hi,

I live in Pittsburgh, PA and I'm looking to replace a steep stretch of
grass that is difficult to mow with a low, 1" to 2", annual ground
cover with yellow flowers.  I'd like the flowers to stick around
spring to early fall.  Is there such a beast?

Thanks,
Ed

this place has some great ideas for lawn alternatives (something i've been
looking into as well!)

 well, if I were evil, I'd suggest yellow (japanese) clover and/or common
oxalis - both of which have yellow flowers, can endure any amount of
trampling, never need mowing etc - the fact that they are noxious weeds need
not deter you.......:)

 

The yellow clover is blooming here and is quite beautiful. However, I would
suggest Lysimachia nummularia - Creeping Jenny.

 I have potentilla (sp?) in one of my flower beds.
It is very hardy and has beautiful small yellow flowers all summer.
It will take a few seasons to "take off" but it might be a solution.
This a variation of the bush type that is more commonly seen.
It may be difficult to obtain.
