Are there any legumes or clovers that I could incorporate into a low

naturally. I was thinking about white dutch clover, but then I seemed
to recall seeing some really short yellow flowers in a yard that
appeared to be a clover, vetch or something in the legume family. It
was only about half the height of dutch clover, but I can't seem to find
any seed. (probably because I don't know the name to search for)

Thanks!

Sweet Clover, Yellow Similar to white variety but does better under
dry conditions.

Yellow sweet clover (Melilotus officinalis), which I love, doesn't
seem like it would be a good lawn plant. it's often used in hay. I
guess maybe if you mowed it regularly the flowers might bloom low.
don't know.

or

Dandelions.
