Almost anything will, if you have enough seeds. Some will sprout, and if you put down a gazillion, that's enough to have flowers. That's how the plants do it themselves, after all. However, they don't have to pay $2.95 for a small quantity of seeds.

I would pull out whatever's big and would compete, rake the area so the seeds can get into the soil, spread the seed, and rake again so the seed is turned under. Then water regularly until they sprout. That's the lazy-gardener version of actually planting the area "the right way".

I do this when I have a few handsful of wildflower seeds. It works for black-eyed susans, coneflowers, pinks, wild shasta-type daisies. It also works for the more vigorously seed-producing garden flowers, like cosmos, calendula, and marigold. You can gather a lot of seed from them if you let the last blooms of the season go to seed.

I'm going to send you back to your very own web site that you posted and there you will find a seed packet for the "Fleur de lawn"
since it is obviously exactly what you are looking for. You can purchase the seed packet right here.
