Default very short yellow ground cover

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?

A perennial, not annual, but a very good ground cover.

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.
